Summary: Date::Manip unable to determine TimeZone. Product: Fedora Core Version: fc6 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: low Priority: normal Component: perl-DateManip AssignedTo: rnorwood@redhat.com ReportedBy: eploko@gmail.com CC: fedora-perl-devel-list@redhat.com

Description of problem: I have set up my timezone as "Asia/Krasnoyarsk" when installing FC6. It corresponds to the KRAT time zone as reported by the date command.
The problem is the perl Date::Manip module isn't recognizing this timezone. If you run perldoc Date::Manip and see the list of the zones it understands, you'll see the KRAT zone isn't listed. Eventually, KRAT is equal to CCT (+0800 China Coast, USSR Zone 7) and echoing CCT to /etc/timezone makes the Date::Manip module happy. But until you do so, all the perl scripts that use Date::Manip fail to run, including /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-DateManip-5.44-1.2.1
How reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set timezone to KRAT. 2. Run /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch
Actual Results: ERROR: Date::Manip unable to determine TimeZone.
Execute the following command in a shell prompt: perldoc Date::Manip The section titled TIMEZONES describes valid TimeZones and where they can be defined.
Expected Results: The command should run fluently w/o an error.
