yea..missing the body..sheesh

my $dt = DateTime->new( year => 2007, hour => 9,
                         time_zone => "Etc/GMT+5"
                 );


The timezone 'Etc/GMT+5' in an invalid name.

??

I see all the Etc/GMT+X inside my /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/ so what's up?

Are the Etc/GMT+X the proper "generic" time zones to use if your 
country/region isn't specified?

Thanks,
Matthew
