If you want Time::Piece to respect time zones, you need to initialize the object from localtime, not from the class itself: 

$ TZ=Europe/London perl -MTime::Piece -wE '
    for my $source ("Time::Piece", scalar localtime()) {
        my $t = $source->strptime("2023/03/27", "%Y/%m/%d");
        say $t - 86400;
    }'
