Yes, there are MANY missing, duplicate or non-existent zones in DateManip's
zonesrfc variable.
The DateManip code must be extensively revised in order to deal with duplicate
zone abbreviations such as CST, which could mean GMT offsets of -0600, -0500,
0800, 0930, or 1030 depending on which timezone / location is selected.
I've raised an upstream DateManip bug report on this issue:
http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=16360
which will hopefully be fixed soon in the next upstream DateManip release.
If not, we'll have to extensively rewrite parts of DateManip to deal with the
duplicate timezone issue - an upstream fix would be better .
Meanwhile, you've found the correct temporary solution with your patch .
We'll have a more comprehensive solution for this issue soon.
