Frankly speaking, I don't understand your explanation at all. Are you saying that the Perl Monks server clock is set to a local timezone? This would be quite weird, wouldn't it?

I'm not a professional UNIX sysadmin, but from what I know, server clocks should always be set to GMT. If you use a non-GMT time for cron jobs, web server log files etc., you'll get a lot of weird effects. Think of changing back to standard time -- all cron jobs during that time window would run twice, log files could have duplicate timestamps etc.

Maybe the gods can shed some light on the issue?

Update: FYI, I'm on upsilon.pair.com (being #13, one of the earliest pair web servers), and a quick TZ= date shows GMT (I set the timezone in the shell, that's why I need to clear TZ).
