The string time zone seems to be an issue ... 

#!perl

use warnings; use strict;
use Carp;

use Time::Piece;

$SIG{__WARN__} = sub { Carp::cluck @_;   };
$SIG{__DIE__}  = sub { Carp::confess @_; };

$| = 1;

my $format_notz = "%a, %d %b %Y %T";
my $format_tz_name = "${format_notz} %Z";
my $format_tz_offset = "${format_notz} %z";

my $time = 'Wed, 13 Jan 2021 17:00:00';
my %time_map = (  $time => $format_notz,
                  qq[$time CST] => $format_tz_name,
                  qq[$time -0600] => $format_tz_offset,
               );

for my $t ( sort keys %time_map )
{
   my $format = $time_map{ $t };
   my $tp = Time::Piece->strptime( $t, $format );

   printf "%s\n  ->  %s  ->\n", $t, $format;
   printf "    %s\n\n", $tp->strftime( $format );
}
__END__
