Olson::Abbreviations(3User Contributed Perl DocumentatiOlson::Abbreviations(3)NAMEOlson::Abbreviations-globally unique timezones abbreviation handling
VERSION
Version 0.01
DESCRIPTION
This module should help you with converting commonly used and often
ambigious olson abbreviations into TZ offset notation.
NOT COMPLETE
This module is released as 0.01 because it is useful. It is not
complete. In order to be complete in the Author's eyes this module must
accept a locale and disambiguate based on that. EST is not ambigious
if your standing in the US or in Austrailia. This module should handle
this properly in the future.
SYNOPSIS
Quick summary of what the module does.
Perhaps a little code snippet.
use Olson::Abbreviations;
my $oa = Olson::Abbreviations->new({ tz_abbreviation => 'EST' });
$oa->is_unambigious; # returns 0
$oa->is_known; # returns 1
$oa->get_offset # dies
...
METHODS
is_unambigious
Returns 0|1 based on if the abbreviation is globally
unambigious to the whole planet
is_known Returns 0|1 based on if the abbreviation is known despite
if it is ambigious or not
