DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly(3)

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

```
  my $offset_tz = DateTime::TimeZone->new( name => '-0300' );
```

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

This class is used to provide the DateTime::TimeZone API needed by DateTime.pm, but with a fixed offset. An object in this class always returns the same offset as was given in its constructor, regardless of the date.

# [USAGE](#USAGE)

This class has the same methods as a real time zone object, but the category() method returns undef.

## [DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly->new ( offset => $offset )](#DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly)

The value given to the offset parameter must be a string such as "+0300". Strings will be converted into numbers by the DateTime::TimeZone::offset\_as\_seconds() function.

## $tz->offset\_for\_datetime( $datetime )

No matter what date is given, the offset provided to the constructor is always used.

## [$tz->**name()**](#$tz)

This returns the offset string form.

## [$tz->**short\_name\_for\_datetime()**](#$tz~2)

This returns the offset string form.
