/etc/localtime is a _text_ file, containing the name of the timezone; /etc/timezone is a symlink to the corresponding _binary_ timezone file. The code in lib/Sys/Info/Driver/Linux/OS.pm just reads the text from /etc/localtime currently; replacing it with /etc/localtime therefore won't work. Is there any facility to get the name of the timezone out of /etc/localtime (short of following the symlink and mangling the target file name)?
