Re^2: TimeZoning oddities

Nuts!

I saw that in one of the PODs I was reading through - but since all the examples I had found (including on PM) did not include it, I assumed that it was not really necessary. Doofus.

Thank you very much, this does the magic.

At last I have found the definitive answer! The problem is with `localtime` rather than `strftime`. This problem happens only on Linux, and only with a threaded build of perl. There's some disgreement about whether the bug is in Linux or perl, but in either case a manual call to `tzset` is a good workaround. See the bug report and ensuing discussion here.	[reply]
