As fliptop said modules are groovy for this kind of thing, but if your needs aren't to
great, you can use the old standby of adding the number of seconds in 2 hours to the
time provided by 'time' which is the default to 'localtime'...
localtime( time() + (2*60*60) )
Of course for those of us in the back asswards state of Indiana or I suppose the rest
of the world, this only works half the time when talking to someone that is in the
other sets.... which is why a robust module is usually better at this kind of thing.
