I'd argue against this (and possibly the code in TimeZone.pm for handling a time zone of "local"). I live in Australia and my timezone is +1100. But I host in the US someplace where the machine has a timezone of -0600. I'd prefer to be able to set my local timezone. Maybe ask the user on install but make a default of the machine's local TZ?
