in reply to Yet Again... Time Zone Conversion

In addition to time zone names, DateTime will also take an offset string. An excerpt from its docs:
This string may be an Olson DB time zone name ("America/Chicago"), an offset string ("+0630"), or the words "floating" or "local". See the DateTime::TimeZone documentation for more details.

    DateManip will as well. Of course you need to be aware that an offset string doesn't map one-to-one to a timezone, so depending on what you are actually trying to do, you may find that there are assumptions made by DateManip (or DateTime) that lead to unexpected results.
