Re: DateTime not observing $ENV{TZ} by default?

Also, to dynamically swap timezones, use tzset from POSIX. (I did not know about this until last week, and it helped me solve a five-year-old bug. Doesn't work on Windows, though.)

$ENV{TZ} = "CEST";
tzset;

Thanks, DateTime ignores it though. So is explicit argument to constructor the only way to do it? Doesn't seem very Perlish to me :-)	[reply]

Yes, its the only way; you could create alternate constructor, or propose a patch for one Doesn't seem very Perlish to me :-) Why? time doesn't consult ENV{TZ} and neither does gmtime -- The module is called DateTime not, localtime :)	[reply]
