Summary: meaning of localtime/gmtime reversed?
Initial Comment:
simple script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -l
print "$_ - $ENV{$_}" foreach keys %ENV;
use POSIX;
print POSIX::strftime("%H:%M:%S, %A, %B, %m %Y",
gmtime(0));
print POSIX::strftime("%H:%M:%S, %A, %B, %m %Y",
localtime(0));
under MacPerl I get what I expected to see (if I read
the documentation clearly enough)

The only way for me to get localtime on the unix box to
work like I've come to expect it to, is by setting
local $ENV{TZ} = 'UTC'; in the script.

My question is, who is wrong? MacPerl or this blasted
Unix box ?
