^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I don't know about that. from the docs:
KNOWN BUGS
Daylight Savings Times
Date::Manip does not handle daylight savings time,
though it does handle timezones to a certain extent.
Converting from EST to PST works fine.
Going from EST to PDT is unreliable.
Another reason to use DateTime. DateTime will handle
DST changes, leap seconds, leap years, other calender systems
and much more :-)
Hope this helps
