in reply to Re^2: Timezone Conversion
in thread Timezone Conversion

Hi choroba, thank you for your response. I tried your code and don't seem to get the conversion to UTC when say executes. I get "2015-10-27 11:50:45.242" not "2015-10-27 15:50:45.242" that I expect, I'm not sure if this is because the code is running on a machine where local timezone is EDT / NewYork or if somehow I've botched your example. Any thoughts?

    What OS, what Perl version? It works for me (both Linux and cygwin, 5.18 / 5.22). Also, check the versions of the used modules.

        Adding $ENV{TZ} = 'Etc/UTC'; at beginning of code seems to correct but noting that is resetting the timezone for the whole process not just the the one conversion. All log times etc post that change are in UTC not EDT as required.
