       Everyone at the DateTime "Asylum".

       This module is a compatibility wrapper around Date::Parse.

       •   If  parse_datetime  is  called  on a $date that doesn't know specify a timezone and $zone is not set,
           then the timezone of the returned DateTime object will be set  to  the  "local"  timezone.   This  is
           consistent with the behavior of Date::Parse.

       •   If parse_datetime is called without a $zone but the $date string does specify a timezone/offset or if
           parse_datetime  is  called  with  a  $zone  that DateTime::TimeZone does not understand, the returned
           DateTime object will have it's timezone set to a fixed  offset  from  UTC.   This  means  that  "DST"
           information  is not available and date math will not reflect "DST" transitions.  This may be resolved
           for true timezones by using the DateTime::TimeZone::Alias module to "alias" the  Time::Zone  timezone
           to an Olson DB name.  This may be done automatically in a future release.
