I have a working DBIx::Class resultset which looks roughly like this:

        my $tasks_to_do = $self->search(
                        {
                                -and => [ scheduled_run_time => {  '<=
+', 'NOW()'}, status => 'pending'  ]
                        }
        );
[download]

But I need that "NOW()" to be in Sydney, Australia time, not the server time which is UTC.

In the script which calls this ResultSet method I've got both

BEGIN {
        $ENV{TZ} = 'Australia/Sydney';
}
[download]

and

$schema->storage->dbh_do(sub {"SET TIMEZONE='Australia/Sydney'"} );
[download]

But it still returns no records.

Due diligence: I know there are records because if I go in to the db manually and do this:

sessions=> SET TIMEZONE='UTC';
SET
sessions=> select * from mytable where scheduled_run_time <= NOW() and
+ status = 'pending';
[download]

I get "no rows", but if I do this:

sessions=> SET TIMEZONE='Australia/Sydney';
SET
sessions=> select * from mytable where scheduled_run_time <= NOW() and
+ status = 'pending';
[download]

I get the expected number of records.

TIA. I have had my coffee by the way.
