time zones in DateTime::TimeZone

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

What is the best way to go about adding support for the MET time zone to DateTime::TimeZone?

:/usr/share/zoneinfo$ re.pl
$ use DateTime::TimeZone;

$ DateTime::TimeZone->new(name => "EST5EDT");
$DateTime_TimeZone_EST5EDT1 = DateTime::TimeZone::EST5EDT=HASH(0x8ffd9
+e0);
# this works

$ DateTime::TimeZone->new(name => "MET");
Runtime error: Invalid offset: MET
# this does not

DateTime::TimeZone::Alias should work for you if all you want to do is add an alias name for an existing time zone.	[reply]
