I'm having a problem parsing a time zone with the DateTime module. 
                my $start_dt = DateTime->new(
                    year       => $start_year,
                    month      => $start_month,
                    day        => $start_day,
                    hour       => $start_hour,
                    minute     => $start_minute,
                    second     => $start_second,
                    nanosecond => 000000000,
                    time_zone  => "$start_tz"
                );

the $start_tz variable is parsed out of a record, and contains the old formatting for TZs. CST6CDT, PST8PDT, etc..etc.. however it is choking on MST7 with the error: "Invalid offset: MST7" Seems to process other timezones fine.
