DG:How can I add two hours to offset for central time?

try date::calc

you'll probably want to use the Add_Delta_Days() function.

 my $date = strftime('%A, %B %d, %Y %I:%M %p',localtime);
 print $date;
 

As fliptop said modules are groovy for this kind of thing, but if your needs aren't to 
great, you can use the old standby of adding the number of seconds in 2 hours to the 
time provided by 'time' which is the default to 'localtime'...

localtime( time() + (2*60*60) )

Of course for those of us in the back asswards state of Indiana or I suppose the rest 
of the world, this only works half the time when talking to someone that is in the 
other sets which is why a robust module is usually better at this kind of thing.
