Sorry you feel that way, however I was trying to answer your question by offering a solution, rather than just straight answering your question.

Fair enough. I've taken a look at the DateTime project and it looks great. How does it compare performance wise to other date manipulation modules like Date::Manip, Date::Parse/Date::Format, and Time::ParseDate?

* What are valid values for the TZ environment variable? This is not a perl question but one which should be addressed to your operating system.

Sure, the OS is in chare of the environment, but this is absolutely a Perl question since Date::Manip relies on the environment settings to know how it should parse and format dates.
