Fellow Monks:

I would like to know if there is a perl module or subroutine in a given modules that does the following:
Given GMT time and the offset from GMT time in 24 hour format, I need to be able to input the date and time; hours, minutes, date (year,month day), and hour offset such as -5 hours and have it converted to the correct time and date.
Example:
Input: 01:50 01/18/2005 offset -5 hours
Output: 20:50 01/17/2005
Perhaps the code and hypthetical subroutine would look something like this: 
#GMT time,date
my($Gyr,$Gm,$Gd,$Gh,$Gm,$offset)=(2006,1,8,1,34,-5);

#subroutine converts to local time, date
#from GMT w/ specified offset 
#where convertTZ is "hypothetical subroutine
my($y,$m,$d,$h,$m)=&convertTZ($Gyr,$Gm,$Gd,$Gh,$Gm,$offset);

I am still continuing to search through CPAN. Any insight, wisdom, or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
