htmanning has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a timestamp in the database that is EST because that's where the server is. It is in a format like: 2019-08-07 17:51:46. I need to convert it to also show PST. I'm not sure how to go about this. Any ideas? I tried messing with Date::Parse but I'm not sure how to account for the times when it's a different day in EST.
