Hello monks,

I would like to know how to convert the UTC time to systems time zone time. This perl script will be run in different systems which will have PST, AST or some other timezone.

Input is: 2010-09-06 15:06:53.512999 ( it is UTC time )
Output should be current systems time zone time.

Please let me know how to achive this through default functions / modules in perl. I cannot install any addon module as it is going to be used in many other systems.

I hope it is clear. I spent a lot of time in searching for how to do this, got lot of pages, but not got exact way to do this. Hope monks can help.
