I noticed this when I missed one of the dependencies (List::AllUtils) that was added in v1.71, at which point all attempts to create a DateTime::TimeZone object failed with this message:
'Cannot determine local time zone'
Turns out this message is seriously misleading.
Tracing through the debugger, I came across this eval, which in v1.74 is located at line 74 of lib/DateTime/TimeZone.pm:
If the class being require'ed isn't available, you should get the actual message returned, like so:
Can't locate List::AllUtils in @inc ...
But you don't. Fixing this would probably eliminate a lot of confusing bug reports against this module.
