Yes, there are MANY missing, duplicate or non-existent zones in DateManip's
zonesrfc variable.

The DateManip code must be extensively revised in order to deal with duplicate 
zone abbreviations such as CST, which could mean GMT offsets of -0600, -0500,
0800, 0930, or 1030 depending on which timezone / location is selected.

I've raised an upstream DateManip bug report on this issue: 
  http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=16360
which will hopefully be fixed soon in the next upstream DateManip release.
If not, we'll have to extensively rewrite parts of DateManip to deal with the
duplicate timezone issue - an upstream fix would be better .

Meanwhile, you've found the correct temporary solution with your patch .

We'll have a more comprehensive solution for this issue soon.
