How does a Time::Piece Object get marked as being local time? 
$date_string = "Jun 03 19:49:27 2018";
$fmt = '%b %d %H:%M:%S %Y';
$time=Time::Piece->strptime( $date_string, $fmt );
print $time->strftime() ."\n";

No surprise. I would like this to be local though. 
my $date_string = "Jun 03 19:49:27 2018 +0200";
my $fmt = '%b %d %H:%M:%S %Y %z';
my $time=Time::Piece->strptime( $date_string, $fmt );
print $time->strftime() ."\n";

After looking into the module itself I find that there is a flag marking the object as local. If I set it manually, I get the result I want. 
$date_string = "Jun 03 19:49:27 2018";
$fmt = '%b %d %H:%M:%S %Y';
$time=Time::Piece->strptime( $date_string, $fmt );
$time->[10] = 1;
print $time->strftime() ."\n";

Looks ugly though, is there any better way to get there? Thanks for any hint.
