DateTime and Etc timezones

I am the principal developer for the FreeToastHost website system, a free
website provider, content management system, and email list server used by over
10,000+ Toastmasters public speaking clubs worldwide.  Toastmasters is a
non-profit and much of the labor to support clubs is done on a volunteer
basis.  FreeToastHost is an independent effort created by Toastmasters club
members from open source libraries and via volunteer labor.  (myself
included) FreeToastHost uses a number of your DateTime module functions.

We have recently ran into an issue where it appears that DateTime does not
support "Etc/" style names for timezones.  (e.g. "Etc/GMT+6")

For example, the following produces an exception for me when running in a
plain vanilla test script:

>       my $today = DateTime->today(time_zone => 'Etc/GMT+6');


Is there something I am missing or is this as intended?
