The code you posted doesn't return server time, or anything else related to TOD:

Undefined subroutine &main::set_time_zone called at ....

... which reflects your use (in line 2) of the assignment  = between $dt and set_time.... rather than the correct "->".

Update/afterthought (and maybe not all that well thought out): if, as you say, "(you) can manually calculate it for the US" why can't you do so for any known-computer-location ... or, for that matter, for any computer using an identifiable, standard TZ for its location?

Is the reason that you won't know where the server providing the time is located? If so, how could you be sure you know where server providing time to a particular (but unspecified) computer is the US?

I'm with ken here. Please un-confuse me [ :-) us, if relevant].


Questions containing the words "doesn't work" (or their moral equivalent) will usually get a downvote from me unless accompanied by:
  1. code
  2. verbatim error and/or warning messages
  3. a coherent explanation of what "doesn't work actually means.
