in thread TimeZone Error?

is this ebay website yours or someone elses? it has the wrong concept of timezones if it's only showing an hour difference between MEZ and PST. it's definitely more than an hour time difference between Europe and Central America.
the hardest line to type correctly is: stty erase ^H

    Hi again
    I found the 'bug' (?):

    Time::Timezone accepts 'MEZ'
    which is the German-version of middle european time or 'met' (try:)
       $mez = tz_offset('MEZ'); # correct    $met = tz_offset('met'); # correct
    while parsedate doesn't know 'MEZ' (or 'mez),
    it gives back gmt when called with ZONE => 'MEZ':
       $gmt = parsedate( "$d $t", ZONE => 'MEZ'); #false    $met = parsedate( "$d $t", ZONE => 'MET'); #correct
