I just read that in 2007 in the US that DST is changing dates.
Looks like all computers will need a patch for the TZ data and DST
changes.
My question is how does perl get TZ data?
Does it pull it from the machine?
So for example next year between 3/11 and 4/1 what happens when you use
Time::Local and use "timelocal" on the second past epoch?
Normally say you have X seconds and that translates to say Mar 20th
10:00am 2007.
Is that going to be the correct 10:00 am or will it be an hour behind?
If Time::Local has internal DST change tables won't that time be off?
Thanks
