Thanks Ruslan,
That fixed it for us.
It has however revealed a different issue.
The date formatter RFC2616 (HTTP) seems to be doing something strange
with the timezone. From lib/RT/Date.pm:
sub RFC2616 {
my $self = shift;
my %args = ( Date => 1, Time => 1,
@_,
Timezone => 'utc',
Seconds => 1, DayOfWeek => 1,
);
my $res = $self->RFC2822( @_ );
$res =~ s/\s*[+-]\d\d\d\d$/ GMT/ if $args{'Time'};
return $res;
}
If RFC2822 returns an accurate timezone offset (+0100) this formatter
seems to just strip it and add the letters GMT afterwards. So what we
are seeing is that now timezone processing is correct using
Europe/London we are seeing BST times (GMT+1) with the letters GMT after
them which is incorrect.

Hi Ruslan,
Thanks for the response and apologies for the delay in replying. You are
correct it does seem to be an issue with mod_perl and ENV being untied.
That's it.
I found another reference to this issue here:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/perl-mod_perl/3594080
What would be the suggested way of fixing this for our RT installation?
Should I try and write a module as suggested in the above link to override
the localtime functionality?
Recently we discovered another issue with mod_perl and starting to
recommend "SetHandler modperl" instead of "SetHandler perl-script".
Just change the latter to the following:
PerlOptions +GlobalRequest
SetHandler modperl
This will fix issue with timezones on mod_perl 2.x and as well protect
you from other bug. Note that this only works with forking MPM
(usually it's default setup). For threaded MPMs I suggest to use
FastCGI.
I suggest all people on mod_perl 2 to try it, it's sligtly faster as well.
Regards,
Kim
