I can't seem to get Time::CTime::strftime to print out the timezone for me...

I do the following:

my $time = time; 
print strftime('%l:%M:%S %p, %A %B %o, %Y', localtime($time));

This works wonderfully generating out put such as:
2:40:55 PM, Tuesday October 10th, 2000 however...I want to add in the timezone.

Now I would figure I'd simply modify the template to read as such:

print strftime('%l:%M:%S %p %Z, %A %B %o, %Y', localtime($time));

However, this ends up just putting a blank space where the %Z token (which according to the perldoc is the proper token) is

Executing

$ date +%M
yields the timezone...so I know it's set...

Any ideas, monks?
