Hi all, I want to ask you how convert time between different timezones in perl script running under cygwin. I have an application which store datetime information in Zulu/GMT. I need to provide date in user timezone. How to do the correct conversion? I want to be able to offer Timezone info like 'Europe/Prague'. Following code snippet will provide correct output when running under Active state Perl (time will differ 1 or 2 hours depending on input date), but when running under cygwin perl no conversion will be done. Can anyone help me?
$ENV{TZ} = 'Zulu';
POSIX::tzset();
$time = timegm($second, $minute, $hour, $day, $month, $year);
$ENV{TZ} = 'Europe/Prague';
POSIX::tzset();
($second, $minute, $hour, $day, $month, $year) =
POSIX::localtime($time);
Attached program will produce under ActiveState PERL
Winter (delta should be +1 h)
ZULU : 2007-12-13 11:47:02 Zulu
LOCAL: 2007-12-13 12:47:02 Europe/Prague
Summer (delta should be +2 h)
ZULU : 2007-06-13 11:47:02 Zulu
LOCAL: 2007-06-13 13:47:02 Europe/Prague
and under CygWin PERL output will be
Winter (delta should be +1 h)
ZULU : 2007-12-13 11:47:02 Zulu
LOCAL: 2007-12-13 11:47:02 Europe/Prague
Summer (delta should be +2 h)
ZULU : 2007-06-13 11:47:02 Zulu
LOCAL: 2007-06-13 11:47:02 Europe/Prague
Best Regards,
Roman
