As if to demonstrate how cool and up-to-date the Perl DateTime project is, it's principal architect and maintainer, Dave Rolsky, announced on the perl.datetime newsgroup the release today of DateTime-TimeZone-0.58, which is based on version 2007a of the Olson tz database, which was also just released today.

When I posted this yesterday, I know I first checked the FTP archive to confirm the current version and the files were for 2006p. Today, the files are for version 2007a. This implies that Dave has automated the detection of new versions of the Olson tz database and the consequent rebuilding and redistribution of DateTime::TimeZone. Slick!
