Tie-TZ

Tie::TZ makes a tied $TZ variable in Perl which ensures tzset() is called when changing timezones. This is important if the C library doesn't notice TZ changes itself before localtime() etc or if you have libraries using the global variables like tzname. See the (7k, html) for more.

local $TZ = 'Some/Where';
...

And a Time::TZ object can represent a TZ setting, with methods to make calculations in that zone. See the (8k, html) for more.

my $zone = Time::TZ->new (tz => 'Some/Where')
