Date::Manip::Zones(3)
🌍 NAME 🌍
Date::Manip::Zones — time zone information. That's it, that's the whole assignment. ✨
💫 DESCRIPTION 💫
okay so listen, bestie: this module is automatically generated. Nobody hand-typed this thing, a machine did it, and honestly? slay. 🤖
What it holds is a complete list of time zones as specified in the standard zoneinfo (or Olson) databases, which got pulled from right here:
<ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/tzdata_vers.tar.gz>Now here's the tea 🫖 — all of that info lives in variables. So this module gives you zero routines for actually dealing with time zone info. It's a data drop, not a toolbox, iykyk. If you want the actual routines that do stuff with time zones, go read the docs for the Date::Manip::TZ module instead. 🏃♀️💨
🕰️ TIME ZONES 🕰️
Every single time zone from the zoneinfo database gets its own lil description, and each one lives in a separate module. These modules load themselves automatically whenever they're needed — so you don't have to go hunting, they just show up like a good friend when you need them. 🫶 They're documented here purely for the sake of completeness, because we're thorough like that. 💅
The modules are available as:
Date::Manip::TZ::_MODULE_where _MODULE_ is the name of the module for that specific time zone. 📛
The following time zones are derived from the standard zoneinfo database: 👑
okay so here's the master list — zone on the left, the module it actually lives in on the right. it's giving phonebook but make it ✨time✨. no skips, no shortcuts, we're listing every single one 💅

✨ TIME ZONE NAMES, ALIASES, AND ABBREVIATIONS ✨
Time zones may be referred to as their full name (e.g. America/New_York), but there are also a number of standard aliases and abbreviations that may be used.
Standard aliases are listed below. Additional aliases can be created, or existing aliases overridden using the new_alias method of the Date::Manip::TZ module. 👑
The zoneinfo database provides several standard aliases, including:
ok bestie we're back and this chunk is the actual table 🌸 two columns, that's it: ALTERNATE NAME on the left, TIME ZONE on the right. If you see the left one somewhere, the page says the time zone is the one on the right. That's the whole vibe.
No cap, it's a big list, so I'm slicing it into lil regional chunks so your eyeballs survive. Every single row is here, I would never do you like that 🫶

WET Europe/Lisbonokay so now we get to the chaos era of time zones 😭 there are a large number of possible time zone aliases of the form EST5EDT. the main 4 used in the United States are CST6CDT, EST5EDT, MST7MDT, and PST8PDT, and these are specifically called for in RFC 822, so whenever possible, these will refer to the US time zones — iconic of them tbh 💅
but plot twist: some aliases may possibly refer to more than one time zone 🙈. in these instances, I have selected one of them to be the default time zone to use — based on how recently it was used, and for what period of time. in the list below, all possible time zones are listed for each alias. the first time zone listed is the one used by default. and bestie, the default alias can be overridden as described above 🫶
fr fr: read the order, because first = default. that's the whole vibe check. ⭐
okay bestie we're deep in the zone table now, no turning back 🫶 this is the big one — every alternate name on the left is lowkey just a cover story for the "real" time zone(s) on the right. same energy as a celebrity's stage name fr fr. let's get into it ✨

Aliases include:
okay bestie we're back and the alias table is still going, it's giving infinite scroll 😭 but this is the part where you start recognizing names you've literally seen in your own /etc/localtime so stay with me 💅
remember: these are the alternate names on the left, and the real time zone they point at on the right. same energy, different name. periodt.

and that's the whole list, we made it to Zulu and honestly? iconic 🌈
Periodically, we gotta be able to figure out a time zone based on an offset. On top of that, the ISDST might be known, and a date/time might be available too. The table below shows which time zones get examined based on the offset, and in what order. First match wins, no take-backsies. And if the ISDST time isn't known? Then the standard zones get tested first, followed by the DST zones. that's just how it goes bestie 💖
ngl, the ordering matters here, so don't skip ahead mentally — the first match is the match.
The default order can be overridden with the off_zones method in the Date::Manip::TZ module. yes you can customize it, you're the main character 💅
okay bestie we're DEEP in the offset table now and it does not slow down 💅 the columns are ISDST, OFFSET, and TIME ZONE, and heads up — when a TIME ZONE cell is blank on a line, it's riding on the same offset as the line above it. iykyk. so like, one offset can carry a whole <em>squad</em> of zones. let's go 👑

and we're still not done — the table keeps going. bestie we are so back. 💖
okay bestie we're still deep in the zone dump and it has zero chill — it's just name after name after name, and every single one of them is staying exactly where it is 💅 No edits, no tidying, no "oops I merged two of these", fr fr.

...and it just keeps GOING, bestie. We are fully in the weeds now and honestly? iconic. 🌿
Here's the vibe of what you're looking at: each row is a little trio — a 0, then an offset like +00:06:04, then one or more zones that live at that exact offset. And if a zone name shows up with no number in front of it, that means it's riding the offset from the line above. Group project energy. 🫶
First up, the tail end of the zero-offset squad:
Antarctica/Davis
Antarctica/Macquarie
Antarctica/Mawson
Antarctica/Palmer
Antarctica/Rothera
Antarctica/VostokThen the offsets start inching forward — and note that these are literal SECONDS, not even whole minutes. +00:06:04. A whole mood. 💀

0 +05:30:00 Asia/ColomboStill going bestie — the offsets don't stop here. 🦋
and we're so back 🦋 still deep in the zone table, still thriving, still not explaining ourselves. This stretch runs from the +05s all the way up to +13, so it's basically a world tour in offsets and I am obsessed 💅. Grab a snack, bestie, it's a long one.
First up, the tail of the group we were already in, plus the bespoke single-offset entries — these are the zones that had their own little custom local time before the world got its act together:
Asia/Kolkata
Asia/Thimphu
Asia/Kathmandu
Asia/Karachi

0 +06:00:00 Asia/Urumqinot Asia/Kolkata pulling up twice with two whole different offsets like she's got layers 😭 and Asia/Kathmandu doing the same thing. main character behaviour, genuinely. Asia/Dhaka and Asia/Thimphu also doubling up because why be one thing when you can be several 💖.
Okay so then +06:00:00 arrives and it is PACKED. This list is giving "everyone showed up to the group chat at once" energy:

Antarctica/MawsonSee Etc/GMT+6 just casually sitting there? ✨ And then there's a whole S — a single letter, no context, no explanation, just vibes 💀. Antarctica's Antarctica/Mawson is repping the south pole in the middle of all these Asian zones and honestly, respect.
Next, the little historic offsets for +06 and the jump into +07:00:00 with its own crowd:

Then the +07 mini-offsets start stacking up and roll us into +08:00:00:

Then the +11 mini-offsets and the climb into +12:00:00:

Pacific/Chatham is also a three-offset girlie — +12:13:48, +12:15:00, +12:45:00 — and Pacific/Tongatapu closes the whole thing out at +13:00:00 alongside Pacific/Kanton, which is the last name in the list and honestly deserves a moment 👑.
still going though, bestie — the table isn't done with us yet 💖
okay bestie we are still in this list, it did not end, it simply kept going, and honestly? respect 💅

0 +15:13:42 America/Metlakatlalook at those first three lines up there — Pacific/Fakaofo, Pacific/Apia, Asia/Anadyr — just vibing over in the third column with literally nothing sitting next to them. no number, no time-ish thing, just name and chill 🦋 they're the low-key continuation girlies, and that's their whole moment, periodt.
then the full rows come back and it's giving structure again 🎀
- first column: a very committed
0, showing up to work every single time 🌸 - second column: a
+-flavoured time situation, starting at+13:20:56and creeping all the way up to+15:13:42😭 - third column: the zone name, obviously, main character energy 👑
so you've got Pacific/Rarotonga at +13:20:56, Pacific/Kiritimati at +14:00:00, America/Anchorage at +14:00:24, America/Yakutat at +14:41:05, America/Sitka at +14:58:47, America/Juneau at +15:02:19, and America/Metlakatla at +15:13:42 — every single one of them, no cap ✨
ngl the way that middle column just keeps ticking upward as you read down is highkey satisfying, it's like a little staircase of numbers and I am obsessed 🙈
and yeah, those three floating names at the top? they're not a mistake, bestie, that's just how the table breaks — some rows carry the name in the third column and let the other columns sit this one out 💀 if you're reading this in a terminal and it looks all spaced-out and weird, that's iykyk territory, it's supposed to look like that 🫶
more coming, we are not done, stay with me 🌈
okay bestie we are BACK in the offset list and she is long 💅 so hydrate, stretch, whatever — every single line down here has that little 1 out front (it's the count column, she's just vibing, don't perceive her), then the UTC offset, then every zone name that maps to it. all verbatim, no cap. 🌸

Asia/Anadyrso here's the actual tea ☕ on how all this abbreviation stuff works:
in the time zone definitions, abbreviations are used to specify the current time (like EST in the America/New_York time zone, iykyk). sometimes an abbreviation only shows up in a single time zone, and in that case there's literally zero ambiguity — no detective work required 💅.
more often though 😭, abbreviations get used across multiple time zones. so when a date gets parsed and it contains one of those abbreviations, it'll try to interpret the date using each of the time zones in the order listed below, going one by one until it lands on one that yields a valid date. first one to work wins 🏆.
heads up bestie: the abbreviationsLMTandzzz, which occur in the zoneinfo databases, are ignored — and when you parse a date that includes them, the local time zone is what gets used instead. no cap.
and you're not stuck with this order either, bestie — the default can be overridden using the abbrev method of the Date::Manip::TZ module. iconic 🎀.
ngl, the order given here is open to discussion (and possible change) based on changes to the timezone database. the rule is: a time zone that used the abbreviation more recently than another time zone always gets the emphasis. within those constraints, they tried to put the more commonly used time zone at a higher priority. and since it's not always possible to decide which one is the most commonly used, they're willing to entertain arguments for altering the order — so if you've got receipts, bring 'em 📩💖
