+The DateTime.pm module aims to provide a complete, correct, and easy
+to use date/time object implementation. Currently it handles many date
+calculations, date math (addition and subtraction), and provides
+convenient methods for retrieving portions of a date/time.
+
+This module properly supports the Olson time zone database, meaning
+that historical time zone information, and more importantly, daylight
+saving time rules, can be handled transparently, simply by setting the
+correct time zone. This is done by using the DateTime::TimeZone
+module.
