RE: Daylight savings

How can I verify the version of DateTime::TimeZone? I can't
locate
DateTime.pm or DateTime::TimeZone package on my box even if
after I rebuilt
the locatedb. 

I did install tzdata rpm on my Linux (CentOS 4.2) box and
copied zone data
onto /etc/localtime file. Is there anything else I should do
to make the
time change on March 11 smooth? Thanks a lot!

FYI-
rpm -i tzdata-2006m-3.el4.noarch.rpm 
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime

/usr/sbin/zdump -v /etc/localtime |grep 2007 

/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 11 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11
01:59:59 2007 EST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000 
/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 11 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11
03:00:00 2007 EDT
isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400 
/etc/localtime  Sun Nov  4 05:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4
01:59:59 2007 EDT
isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400 
/etc/localtime  Sun Nov  4 06:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4
01:00:00 2007 EST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000

Make sure you have the latest version of DateTime::TimeZone,
and that  
your OS's tz_info database is up-to-date.

Best,

   perl -MDateTime::TimeZone -le 'print
DateTime::TimeZone->VERSION'

I think that should do it.
