Note that there are limitations to running multiple OS's on multiple partitions - you can only use (log into) one at a time, and it is difficult to change the allocated disk amounts (partition sizes.)
If you install your preferred distro on the entire drive, then install multiple VMs via VirtualBox or VMware, you can run more than one at the same time.

DateTime::TimeZone::Local::Win32(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation DateTime::TimeZone::Local::Win32(3)
NAME
DateTime::TimeZone::Local::Win32 - Determine the local system's time zone on Windows
VERSION
version 1.63
SYNOPSIS
my $tz = DateTime::TimeZone->new( name => 'local' );
my $tz = DateTime::TimeZone::Local->TimeZone();
DESCRIPTION
This module provides methods for determining the local time zone on a Windows platform.
HOW THE TIME ZONE IS DETERMINED
This class tries the following methods of determining the local time zone:
o $ENV{TZ}
It checks $ENV{TZ} for a valid time zone name.
o Windows Registry
When using the registry, we look for the Windows time zone and use a mapping to translate this to an Olson time zone name.
o Windows Vista and 2008
We look in "SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/TimeZoneInformation/" for a node named "/TimeZoneKeyName". If this exists, we use
this key to look up the Olson time zone name in our mapping.
o Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server
We look in "SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Time Zones/" and loop through all of its sub keys.
For each sub key, we compare the value of the key with "/Std" appended to the end to the value of
"SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/TimeZoneInformation/StandardName". This gives us the English name of the Windows time zone,
which we use to look up the Olson time zone name.
o Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Millenium Edition
The algorithm is the same as for NT, but we loop through the sub keys of "SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Time
Zones/"
