I don't know Time::Piece, but using GMT and then adding on an offset to the number of seconds before converting back YYYYMMDDHHMMSS sounds right. > Where do I get the current time in different countries from > (in Perl)? Not sure about that one. Some OSes have all sorts of time zone information but I don't know what interface there exists to it. > Should I be asking this on [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead? Oh, just ask Jarkko; he *loves* locales in general and time zones in particular :)[1] Cheers, Philip [1] sarcasm; please don't poke the friendly jhi. I've just noticed he tends to start gibbering on contact with locales. Here be monsters, apparently. -- Philip Newton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> All opinions are my own, not my employer's.
