Greetings! I am running in to invalid date time problem and require your advice/help. I am reading a file which has date and time in PST (America/Los_Angeles). I am converting it to UTC I encounter an error when run the time 03/113/2016 00:02:00. 13th March 2016 2Am is daylight saving. 

use DateTime;

$occuranceTime = "00:02:00";
$occuranceDate = "03/13/2016";

    my $recordYear = substr ($occuranceDate, 6,4);
    my $recordMonth = substr ($occuranceDate, 0,2);
    my $recordDate = substr ($occuranceDate, 3,2);
    my $recordSec = substr ($occuranceTime, 0,2);
    my $recordHour = substr ($occuranceTime, 3,2);
    my $recordMin = substr ($occuranceTime, 6,2);

    my $recordOnPST =DateTime->new( year => $recordYear, month => $rec
+ordMonth, day => $recordDate,
                             hour => $recordHour, minute => $recordMin
+, second => $recordSec, time_zone => 'America/Los_Angeles');
                             
       #my $recordOnPST =DateTime->new( year => $recordYear, month => 
+$recordMonth, day => $recordDate,
        #                     hour => $recordHour, minute => $recordMi
+n, second => $recordSec, time_zone => 'floating');
        
                                 
        my $recordOnUTC = $recordOnPST ->set_time_zone('UTC'); 
  
print "$recordOnPST \n";
print "$recordOnUTC \n";

I did try to use time zone as floating (which is UTC) but had no success (I mean I need to time first in PST before I convert to UTC) Thank in advance for all your assistance
