DESCRIPTION

This class is used to provide the DateTime::TimeZone API needed by DateTime.pm, but with a fixed offset. An object in this class always returns the same offset as was given in its constructor, regardless of the date.

USAGE

This class has the same methods as a real time zone object, but the category() method returns undef.

DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly->new ( offset => $offset )

The value given to the offset parameter must be a string such as "+0300". Strings will be converted into numbers by the DateTime::TimeZone::offset_as_seconds() function.

$tz->offset_for_datetime( $datetime )

No matter what date is given, the offset provided to the constructor is always used.

$tz->name()

$tz->short_name_for_datetime()

Both of these methods return the offset in string form.
