A small followon. With: 
perl -E "use DateTime ;my $now = DateTime->now(time_zone => \"EST5EDT\
+") ; my $day = $now->local_day_of_week ; say \"day of the week: $day\
+" ; "
---------------------
day of the week: 6

[download]
The docs say: "Returns the day of the week as a number, from 1..7, with 1 being Monday and 7 being Sunday." But today is Friday...looks like it is "with 1 being Sunday" This is not a big deal, but am I missing something?
