NAME

6       DateTime::TimeZone::Local::Win32 - Determine the local system's time
7       zone on Windows
8

SYNOPSIS

10         my $tz = DateTime::TimeZone->new( name => 'local' );
11
12         my $tz = DateTime::TimeZone::Local->TimeZone();

DESCRIPTION

15       This module provides methods for determining the local time zone on a
16       Windows platform.
17

HOW THE TIME ZONE IS DETERMINED

19       This class tries the following methods of determining the local time
20       zone:
21
22       * $ENV{TZ}
23           It checks $ENV{TZ} for a valid time zone name.
24
25       * Windows Registry
26           We check for a registry key called "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Cur‐
27           rentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\StandardName".
28
29           If this exists, it contains a Windows name for the time zone. We
30           use a lookup table to translate this into an equivalent time zone
31           name.
32
33           This lookup table was borrowed from the Chronos Smalltalk library.
