Oh ha-ha! You think just because I am American I will make sure my
script excludes the Axis of Evil[1] and So On? ;)

Actually, you must not have the DateTime::TimeZone CPAN module
installed completely. Try running:

sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install DateTime::TimeZone'

I think that will fix your disappeared capitals. :)

There is no Asia/Beijing in the Olson TZ Databse, you see:

So Asia/Shanghai is the one to use.
