NAMEDateTime::TimeZone::Local::Unix - Determine the local system's time zone on UnixVERSIONversion 2.52SYNOPSISmy $tz = DateTime::TimeZone->new( name => 'local' ); my $tz = DateTime::TimeZone::Local->TimeZone(); DESCRIPTIONThis module provides methods for determining the local time zone on a Unix platform.HOW THE TIME ZONE IS DETERMINEDThis class tries the following methods of determining the local time zone:
Note: Some systems such as virtual machine boxes may lack any of these files. You can confirm that this is case by running: $ ls -l /etc/localtime /etc/timezone /etc/TIMEZONE \ /etc/sysconfig/clock /etc/default/init If this is the case, then when checking for timezone handling you are likely to get an exception: $ perl -wle 'use DateTime; DateTime->now( time_zone => "local" )' Cannot determine local time zone In that case, you should consult your system man pages for details on how to address that problem. In one such case reported to us, a FreeBSD virtual machine had been built without any of these files. The user was able to run the FreeBSD tzsetup utility. That installed /etc/localtime, after which the above timezone diagnostic ran silently, i.e., without throwing an exception.
