I'm on Windows Perl 5.8.8 and I'm writing an app that needs to deal with
daylight savings time. The date is an RFC 822 formatted date which looks
like this "Wed, 03 Sep 2008 08:58:27 -0800", and what I'm looking for is
the "-0800" part which changes based on the daylight savings time state.

I want something light weight (rather not use a module) and it only has
to deal with the PST timezone.

Has anyone found a Win32:: method that will retrieve the DST state from
Windows? Also, when the date is expressed in that format, is it supposed
to represent UTC time along with the offset?
