current time in different timezones incl DST

[Marcus]

Im currently calculating the current time for cities around the globe,
based on my servers time, trying to keep track on DST dates in a
separete file to make it accurate(ish).

Im sure there are solid solutions out there to do this? Eg, print the
current time in New York, Berlin, Sydney etc.

Thanks for any suggestions

I would normally just use the OS's support for this..

my @cities_to_timezone = (
[ "New York", "US/Eastern" ],
[ "Berlin", "Europe/Berlin"],
[ "Sydney", "Australia/NSW"],
);

foreach (@cities_to_timezone)
{
$ENV{'TZ'} = $_->[1];
print $_->[0], ": ", scalar localtime, "\n";
}
