## NAME

DateTime::TimeZone::Local::VMS - Determine the local system's time zone on VMS

## VERSION

version 2.72

## 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 VMS platform.

NOTE: This is basically a stub pending an implementation by someone who knows something about VMS.

## HOW THE TIME ZONE IS DETERMINED

This class tries the following methods of determining the local time zone:

- •

  `%ENV`

  We check the following environment variables:

  - •

    TZ

  - •

    SYS$TIMEZONE\_RULE

  - •

    SYS$TIMEZONE\_NAME

  - •

    UCX$TZ

  - •

    TCPIP$TZ
