💖 Date::M...5abbrevs(3) 💖

okay bestie so this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and the title up top is literally Date::M...5abbrevs(3) (yes it's truncated like that, no I didn't do it, the header did). It's a perl thing. Sit down, we're gonna talk timezones. 🌍✨

✨ NAME ✨

Date::Manip::DM5abbrevs — a whole list of all timezone abbreviations 🕰️💅

🌸 SYNPOSIS 🌸

okay so real talk: this module is not meant to be used directly by you. Like, not even a little. Date::Manip 5.xx will load it as needed, on its own, when it wants it. It's giving backstage crew, not main character. 🎭

This module contains all of the time zone abbreviations from Date::Manip 6.xx copied backwards to 5.xx, so that 5.xx can provide slightly better support for time zones. 🦋

⚠️ not me having to say this but: this is only a bandaid fix, and it does not add proper time zone handling to version 5.xx. It's a cute little glow-up, not a whole rewrite. Don't come for me. 🩹😭
