Re: why are timegm and timelocal returning the same epoch seconds values

Thank you for the responses. Here is more information. I do have "use Time::Local" at the top of my main script. My host is running Solaris 10 and the timezone is set for "US/Pacific". The file I am processing contains multiple(24) timestamps that are in GMT time and we have a customer who wants these times converted to local time.

1. Try extract this subroutine from you script and run it outside of your script. 2. Is your TZ variable set? 3. Try run with env TZ=US/Pacific 4. Try run system tools (like 'date) which report time to make sure they recognize timezone correctly	[reply]

Update2: `use DateTime; use DateTime::TimeZone; my $dt = DateTime->new( year => 2013, month => 4, day => 15, hour => 12, minute => 45, second => 47, time_zone => 'Europe/Berlin', ); my $tz = DateTime::TimeZone->new( name => 'US/Pacific' ); my $offset = $tz->offset_for_datetime($dt); print qq($offset\n); print DateTime::TimeZone->offset_as_string( $offset ) . qq(\n); print qq($dt->hour\n); $dt->set_time_zone( 'US/Pacific' ); print qq($dt->hour\n);` [download] Regards, Karl ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť	[reply] [d/l]
