=head1 NAME

DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly - A DateTime::TimeZone object that just contains an offset

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  my $offset_tz = DateTime::TimeZone->new( name => '-0300' );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is used to provide the DateTime::TimeZone API needed by
DateTime.pm, but with a fixed offset.  An object in this class always
returns the same offset as was given in its constructor, regardless of
the date.

=head1 USAGE

This class has the same methods as a real time zone object, but the
C<category()> method returns undef.

=item * new ( offset => $offset )

The value given to the offset parameter must be a string such as
"+0300".  Strings will be converted into numbers by the
C<DateTime::TimeZone::offset_as_seconds()> function.

=item * offset_for_datetime( $datetime )

No matter what date is given, the offset provided to the constructor
is always used.

=item * name(), short_name_for_datetime()

Both of these methods return the offset in string form.
