Re: Localtime() or gmtime()

perhaps this is a bit makeshift, but have you considered altering the return from time() to add/deduct the correct number of hours and then apply localtime()?

i am not sure, but i think pacific and east euro are 10 hours apart, so that should be

localtime(time() - 10 * 60 * 60);

actually changing the time zone is very platform specific, and you probably want to ask your sysop instead of the people here.

Perhaps the Time::Local module (standard distribution) will also be of some use to you.

Of course, it isn't as simple as that. The main problem is daylight savings time. The world doesn't switch at the same time - or does the Pacific coast switch to DST in the middle of the day? ;-) DST happens at different dates, different times, and with different differences in different timezones, and some zones don't switch at all. On Unix, you can often get the time in a different zone by setting the `TZ` environment variable properly. Abigail	[reply] [d/l]
