I'm trying to find a _simple_ method of taking a series of a dozen or so pre-determined locations around the world, a user supplied date, time, and location indicator, and presenting what date and time that represents at the pre-determined locations .
For example, a user might want to say: worlddate 2007-03-12 13:00 eastern which would mean "what time is it in the predetermined locations if it is 1:00pm on March 12, 2007 in the eastern standard time zone. The result that would be desired would look like: 13:00 2006-03-13 OHIO EASTERN 10:00 2006-03-13 CALIFORNIA PACIFIC 11:00 2006-03-13 NEW MEXICO MOUNTAIN 12:00 2006-03-13 ILLINOIS CENTRAL 19:00 2006-03-13 SWITZERLAND MIDDLE EUROPEAN 18:00 2006-03-13 ENGLAND WEST EUROPEAN 20:00 2006-03-13 ISRAEL EAST EUROPEAN 03:00 2006-03-14 JAPAN JAPANESE 21:00 2006-03-13 MOSCOW RUSSIAN 05:00 2006-03-14 EAST MELBOURNE AUSTRALIAN **daylight** I have a list of fixed geographic locations, and can generally figure out how to google to locate the timezone names, etc. But how do I turn the user supplied date and time into the time for the various timezones, and figure out whether daylight savings time is in effect?
