"localtime" DateTime Objects

[Max Campos]

All I want is simple "local time" date time manipulation without having 
to deal with timezones.

However, as illustrated below, I'm getting some weird (GMT?) results.   
Is this correct behavior?  I'm using stock Red Hat 9 perl 5.8.0.

=====================
use DateTime;
print "DATE:  " . `date`;
print "DTNOW: " . DateTime->now . "\n";
print "DTABS: " . new DateTime(month => 7, day => 1, year => 2004, hour 
=> 14) . "\n";

=========================
Output:
DATE:  Thu Jul  1 14:05:03 PDT 2004
DTNOW: 2004-07-01T21:05:03
DTABS: 2004-07-01T14:00:00
