This relies on the 'TZ' environment variable being set. Type 'set' at a shell prompt, and you'll find that TZ isn't defined.

Type 'export TZ=EST5' at a *nix shell prompt, or 'set TZ=EST5' under Windows, and then run your program (from the shell, so that the environment is inherited). It will then print the 'EST' portion of the TZ variable.

I'd like to tell you how to set it automatically, but I'm not sure I'd be giving accurate information. Maybe someone else can provide that piece of the (non-Perl) puzzle.
