Changeing the Date and Time in perl
How can I change the date in time from the date/time on my server to my timezone. Can this be done by using GWT. Please help.

Just subtract/add the number of seconds. For example, this server is in the east cost on EST, but I want PST, so for all calls to localtime() I do:

localtime(time - 10800);

which will return the time in PST.

Cheers,
