The only thing I can think of off hand is the persistance of the mod_perl. I tried this in perl 5.6.0 and it works fine. Is this similar to what you tried in 5.8? ie set TZ print localtime and set TZ and print localtime again in the same script with a different timezone.

$ENV{TZ}='CST6CDT';
print scalar(localtime), "\n";
$ENV{TZ}='MST7MDT';
print scalar(localtime), "\n";
