=head1 NAME

Time::TZOffset - Show timezone offset strings like +0900

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Time::TZOffset qw/tzoffset/;

    my @localtime = localtime;
    say tzoffset(@localtime);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Time::TZOffset provides tzoffset function that determines timezone offset and shows strings
like C<+0900>
This module implemented by XS, it's may be faster than other way to show timezone offset.
And also Time::TZOffset is more portable than using C<POSIX::strftime> with C<%z>.

=head1 FUNCTION

=over 4

=item tzoffset(@localtime)

Returns a timezone offset string like C<+0900>

=head1 BENCHMARK

I did this benchmark on linux.

  use Benchmark qw/:all/;
  use POSIX qw//;
  use Time::Local;
  use Time::TZOffset;
  
  cmpthese(timethese(-1, {
      'posix' => sub {
          POSIX::strftime('%z', @lt);
      },
      'time_local' => sub {
          my $sec = Time::Local::timegm(@lt) - Time::Local::timelocal(@lt);
          sprintf '%+03d%02u', $sec/60/60, $min/60%60;
      },
      'tzoffset' => sub {
          Time::TZOffset::tzoffset(@lt);
      },
  }));
