I'm trying to manipulate a time stamp. The original time is UTC and is stored as 2011-07-24T17:46:33Z I need to convert this from UTC to the Olsen zone "America/North_Dakota/Center". I am using the perl module Date::Manip::Date. I have tried various scripts coming up with this mess 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;

use Date::Manip::Date;

my $date = "2011-07-24T17:46:33Z";
my $localzone = "America/North_Dakota/Center";

my $err = $date->convert([$localzone]);

print $err;

and I am not getting anywhere to convert this. The desired output is 2011-07-24 12:46:33 PM CDT AND be daylight savings time sensative. Anyone have mercy on this poor soul?
