Perl question

[Carl Parrish]

Thanks everyone. Man I've learned a *lot* about system time in the last 
two days.  $ENV{TZ} ended up working for me. Except that there is no 
US/Eastern zoneinfo file on the freeBSD servers I set this up on. So on 
those I ended up using America/New_York. However there is no 
America/New_York files on the Linux boxes. So right now they are set for 
US/Eastern. They all seem to be more or less on the same time. Does 
anyone know if I can leave it like this. Also while its fine right now. 
I ended up with two different scripts for the same problem (abeit just 
one line of code changed). So I'll proably end up doing a check to see 
what kind of server its on. But I don't know how NetBSD, OpenBSD, 
Solaris and other versions of Linux will look like. Is there some source 
I can go to to find a standard set of zoneinfo files? Or if not just a 
listing of zoneinfo files on different *nix boxes?

Once again thanks everyone,
Carl Parrrish
