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
online man page (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
online man page (8k, html)
for more.
my $zone = Time::TZ->new (tz => 'Some/Where')
