It's probably that simple. Simply setting the TZ env var probably won't
do much. An app has to call POSIX::tzset() for that take effect.
I find that for most date and time handling I do, just setting $ENV{TZ} does the trick -- except perhaps on Debian. Are you saying that if I want the setting of TZ to portably affect, e.g., localtime, that I need to always POSIX::tzset() after I do it? Seems a waste to load all of POSIX.pm just for that...
Cheers,
