Having lived in a few timezones I am quite picky about getting this one right.

In the configuration options for Perl Monks it offers a selection of timezones to choose from ranging from GMT+11 to GMT-12. But in actual fact the +/- symbol appears to be inverted.

In Australia (Sydney) we are GMT+10 during Winter. However the option that provides the correct time on Perl Monks is GMT-10.

Another issue I have is on behalf of the poor New Zealanders who often are ignored by RFCs and the like. They exist at GMT+12 (yes, really, plus!) during Winter, and move to GMT+13 during Summer. This was corrected by a later RFC for the time MIB, and perhaps Perl Monks can honour the lads of New Zealand by offering them this choice of timezone?

Thanks!
