I didn't think about adding it to a BEGIN block. I just added it to
the get_date sub and it seems to work fine. I just didn't know if it was a
proper way to do that. I'm using it to make sure that all orders added to the
shopping cart are in the store owners timezone and not the server's, if it's
different.

I'm using standard timezone names, e.g. America/Los_Angeles. I've
setup the configuration script with a drop down list of all timezone names and
their offsets ("-8") which then populates the config file. It's then pulled
from there.
