[Fwd: [MacPerl] changing the time returned by localtime]
Jakal,
I forgot to mention, if you want a quick timezone reference site visit my server
<http://k9.dingoblue.com.au>, maybe even grab the Sherlock plugin.
Not to blow my own trumpet of course .. :-)

The problem however is that almost all the users of the CGI which generates the time will be in Europe, and it would make more sense for the time to be about 10 hours ahead (or behind, I can't remeber at the moment). Is there any easy one to do this?
