DST and ActivePerl

OS: All / Any | Product: ActivePerl | tags: activeperl dst time
Question:

Will ActivePerl handle the new US DST changes?

Answer:

ActivePerl relies on the underlying operating system for any date information. Providing the operating systems are patched to take into account the new DST laws there should be no issues.

Please note that you will want to ensure that you check any extra modules (beyond the core and enterprise edition modules that we provide) that are used are up to date.

For example:

DateTime::Timezone

This module needs updating, as it contains actual switchover times for various time zones. The module is updated frequently on CPAN to keep it in sync with the Olson timezone database and the latest version contains the updated rules.
