Dear Monks,

I need to display the time for a specific time zone on a PC no matter where the PC is physically located in the world. For example if the resource time zone is in California and the PC is in New York, I want to show the time in California on the PC. I tried using 'DateTime': 

my $dt = DateTime->from_epoch( epoch => time() );
   $dt = set_time_zone('America/Los_Angeles');
my $pctime = $dt->epoch();

But this returns the time for the server location.

I can manually calculate it for the US, but would like to have it work for any PC in the world. Any help appreciated.

Note: Just so you understand what I'm doing, I'm sending the time in milliseconds to the PC for display by a 'javascript' routine.

Regards...Ed
