man DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly () - A DateTime::TimeZone object that just contains an offset

NAME

DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly - A DateTime::TimeZone object that just contains an offset

SYNOPSIS

  my $offset_tz = DateTime::TimeZone->new( name => '-0300' );

DESCRIPTION

This class is used to provide the DateTime::TimeZone API needed by DateTime.pm, but with a fixed offset. An object in this class always returns the same offset as was given in its constructor, regardless of the date.

USAGE

This class has the same methods as a real time zone object, but the CWcategory() method returns undef. The value given to the offset parameter must be a string such as +0300. Strings will be converted into numbers by the CWDateTime::TimeZone::offset_as_seconds() function. No matter what date is given, the offset provided to the constructor is always used.

* name(), short_name_for_datetime()
Both of these methods return the offset in string form.
