Net::ICal::Timezone -- class for representing VTIMEZONEs


NAME

Net::ICal::Timezone -- class for representing VTIMEZONEs


DESCRIPTION

This module represents VTIMEZONEs, which detail important information about timezones. For any timezone, you need to know some important factors related to it, namely:

This object represents those concepts with arrays of Net::ICal::Standard and Net::ICal::Daylight objects. For more detail on why, see RFC2445 4.6.5.

If you want some real data to test this module against, see http://primates.ximian.com/~damon/icalendar/zoneinfo.tgz , which is a set of VTIMEZONE files that aims to describe every timezone in the world. We'll be relying on those files in a future release as a master timezone database. They're a translation of the Olsen timezone database found on Unix systems.


SYNOPSIS

    use Net::ICal::Timezone;
    # we know this works
    my $tz = Net::ICal::Timezone->new_from_ical($ical_text);

    # we haven't tested this yet, patches welcome
    my $tz = Net::ICal::Timezone->new(
        tzid => 'America/New_York',
        standards => [
            (Net::ICal::Standard objects)                    
        ],
        daylights => [
            (Net::ICal::Daylight objects)
        ]
        );
