bug fuss to print the time including zone

[jidanni]

Geez, to print the time including the timezone offset, it's either
print localtime() . " +0800\n"; #Hardwire it, or
print `date -R`; #Expensive
Any other solution and were talking at least a three lines of code,
"use", etc. no?

$ perl -le'use POSIX; print strftime "%F %T %z %Z", localtime'
