tz

“Sooner or later every programmer has to deal with time zones … and you really should never, ever deal with time zones if you can help it.”

A timezone and calendaring package for Pony. During packaging we incorporated the IANA database so the package has no reason to ask for any Object Capablility or C-FFI.

See the fine documentation for an overview of what functionality is and is not covered - as well as some of the "peculiarities" that comes with international TimeZones.

Remember folks, "America/Chicago" ≠ "EST5EDT"(!) - Choose Wisely!

This package DOES differenciate betwixt the two.

Status

Work in progress. The API surface is still settling and breaking changes should be expected until 1.0.
