Re: %ENV{TZ} does not always affect CORE::localtime() under multi-threaded perl

I have perl v5.8.0 built for i686-linux-thread-multi-ld and doing

perl -e '$ENV{TZ} = "DST";print scalar localtime(), "\n";'
[download]

works fine for me.

Could you please try this: `perl -e '$ENV{TZ} = "EST";print scalar localtime(), "\n";$ENV{TZ} = "DST";print scalar localtime(), "\n";'` [download] It works correctly at 5.6.1 and misbehaves at 5.8.0 --dda	[reply] [d/l]

What dda means to say is: here is the output on a redhat 8, perl 5.8.0 (multithreaded) box (actually we have tried 3 redhat 8 boxes): perl -e '$ENV{TZ} = "EST";print scalar localtime(), "\n";$ENV{TZ} = "DST";print scalar localtime(), "\n";' Wed Apr 16 15:47:41 2003 Wed Apr 16 15:47:41 2003 whereas on a redhat 7.2, perl 5.6.1 box, the output is Wed Apr 16 15:42:25 2003 Wed Apr 16 20:42:25 2003 and on a freebsd box, perl 5.8.0, the output is also correct, i.e. Wed Apr 16 15:42:25 2003 Wed Apr 16 20:42:25 2003 perl 5.6.1 under cygwin seems to manifest the problem also.

Hmmmm, I see what you mean. Seems like a bug (like you said). Just to let every know, output is: `Wed Apr 16 15:56:22 2003 Wed Apr 16 15:56:22 2003` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
