12 This module should help you with converting commonly used and often
13 ambigious olson abbreviations into TZ offset notation.
14
15 NOT COMPLETE
16 This module is released as 0.01 because it is useful. It is not
17 complete. In order to be complete in the Author's eyes this module must
18 accept a locale and disambiguate based on that. EST is not ambigious
19 if your standing in the US or in Austrailia. This module should handle
20 this properly in the future.

23 Quick summary of what the module does.
24
25 Perhaps a little code snippet.
26
27 use Olson::Abbreviations;
28
29 my $oa = Olson::Abbreviations->new({ tz_abbreviation => 'EST' });
30 $oa->is_unambigious; # returns 0
31 $oa->is_known; # returns 1
32 $oa->get_offset # dies
33 ...
34
36 is_unambigious
37 Returns 0|1 based on if the abbreviation is globally
38 unambigious to the whole planet
39
40 is_known Returns 0|1 based on if the abbreviation is known despite
41 if it is ambigious or not
