RE: Using ENV{'TZ'} in mod_perl

[Tyler]

Hello, I previously requested some help with setting $ENV{TZ} and using it’s value to modify the output of localtime (i.e. Make it time zone specific).  The suggested solution was to use POSIX::tzset() because my perl installation was compiled with thread support.  So this helped, however I’m still not able to use $ENV{TZ} to modify the behavior of localtime in a cgi script.  Is there some sort of limitation with cgi scripts run under mod_perl (specifically: PerlRun) that would prevent this from working?   Thank you, Tyler Fullerton.   From: Garrett, Philip (MAN-Corporate) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 11:25 AM To: Tyler; modperl@perl.apache.org Subject: RE: Using ENV{'TZ'} in mod_perl   If you're using a perl compiled with thread support, you'll need to call POSIX::tzset() after setting $ENV{TZ}.     From: Tyler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 2:09 PM To: modperl@perl.apache.org Subject: Using ENV{'TZ'} in mod_perl Hello, I have a script that use to use the value in the environment variable ENV{‘TZ’} to modify the output of the perl builtin localtime.  In other words, I’d do something like this:   $ENV{‘TZ’} = ‘US/Eastern’; @time = localtime();   This use to give me the localtime in whatever timezone was in ENV{‘TZ’}.  However, I have since then switched to using mod_perl (more specifically the PerlRun module) and now this code no longer works (i.e. $ENV{‘TZ’} doesn’t have any affect on localtime).  I’ve tried various modifications to my mod_perl install (such as configuring PerlPassEnv, etc) but still can’t get it to work.    Does anyone have any recommendations, or thoughts?   Thank you in advance, Tyler Fullerton.   __________ NOD32 1.1764 (20060920) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
