Date::Manip::DM5abbrevs(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				Date::Manip::DM5abbrevs(3)

NAME

       Date::Manip::DM5abbrevs - A list of all timezone abbreviations

SYNPOSIS

       This module is not intended to be used directly. Date::Manip 5.xx will load it as needed.

       This module contains all of the time zone abbrevations from Date::Manip 6.xx copied backwards to 5.xx to provide slightly better support
       for time zones.

       Note that this is only a bandaid fix, and does not add proper time zone handling to version 5.xx .
