NAME
     Time::Zone -- miscellaneous timezone manipulations routines

SYNOPSIS
	     use Time::Zone;
	     print tz2zone();
	     print tz2zone($ENV{'TZ'});
	     print tz2zone($ENV{'TZ'}, time());
	     print tz2zone($ENV{'TZ'}, undef, $isdst);
	     $offset = tz_local_offset();
	     $offset = tz_offset($TZ);

DESCRIPTION
     This is a collection of miscellaneous timezone manipulation routines.

     tz2zone() parses the TZ environment variable and returns a timezone string
     suitable for inclusion in date(1)-like output.  It opionally takes a time-
     zone string, a time, and a is-dst flag.

     tz_local_offset() determins the offset from GMT time in seconds.  It only
     does the calculation once.

     tz_offset() determines the offset from GMT in seconds of a specified time-
     zone.

     tz_name() determines the name of the timezone based on its offset
