MHonArc Users,
NOTE: What I am going to mention is not implemented in any available
version of MHonArc. I am seeking comments about changes to timezone
support in a future release.
The plan is to support HHMM specifications for timezones in MHonArc.
From the information provided by Jeff and others and from Date::Manip,
I have compiled a list of timezones. For those with familiarity with
timezones, please look over the list to see if there is any errors
and/or you can contribute comments on what some acronyms represent.
Note, the same acronym is used for different time zones. The ones
prefixed with a '#' (the Perl comment character) are not used by
default and would require the user to use the TIMEZONES resource to
activate them.
The list below is in the format of a Perl hash:
## The %Zone array should be augmented to contain all timezone
## specifications with the positive/negative hour offset from UTC
## (GMT). The zone value is *added* to the time containing the
## zone to determine GMT time. Hence, the values will be the
## negative inverse used in actual time specifications in messages.
%Zone = (
