Re^5: Converting local time to UTC mystery

Indeed this works, thanks a lot!!! I wonder, where this is documented...

For completeness, here the working function call:

my $seconds_since_epoch=str2time($timestamp_local, 'local');

«The time_zone parameter can be either a scalar or a `DateTime::TimeZone` object. A string will simply be passed to the `DateTime::TimeZone->new` method as its "name" parameter. This string may be an Olson DB time zone name ("America/Chicago"), an offset string ("+0630"), or the words "floating" or "local". See the `DateTime::TimeZone` documentation for more details.»	[reply] [d/l] [select]
