Thanks for your thoughtful response.

Actually, I'm suffering a massive headache. The worst part is; I wasn't drinking. So I'm suffering without having the benefit of having had a great time. :(

Now having been given a little focus (the example above). It occurred to me, that given I almost always use
POSIX qw(strftime);
for any of my Date/Time related stuff. I could have simply done: 

use POSIX qw(strftime);
my $w3cstring = strftime "%FT%H:%I:%S", localtime;
print $w3cstring;

Which would have returned the equivalent: 
2013-11-26T14:02:48

In fact better; as I wasn't looking for the TZ. Which is appended, using the example provided earlier in this thread.

Thanks again, for the thoughtful response.
