 Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2013 11:26 pm Post subject: Issue with Mountian timezone [SOLVED] |
 |
|
What is the best way to set the timezone in a process to be Mountian?
Here is a script that does not seem to work:
| Code: |
#!/usr/bin/perl
use POSIX qw( strftime );
print "Local = ".strftime("%r",localtime()) . "\n";
$ENV{'TZ'} = "/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Mountian";
print "Mountian = ".strftime("%r",localtime()) . "\n";
mybox ~ # ./tst
Local = 07:18:49 PM
Mountian = 11:18:49 PM
|
Why is this not showing as 05:18? What am I doing wrong. I basically need to set timezone in a perl script and I can get the other US timezones to work correctly but not Mountian. I have played with this on multiple distro's (g2 of course) and it behaves the same way. Perhaps I am missing something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Spelling error, if nothing else. Change "Mountian" to "Mountain". That's the most probebul explunashun.  Unless this is a time zone only used by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police? 
Also, I don't think you need the whole pathname. "US/Mountain" should work.

This is SOOO classic! When I read this my kids heard me howl out laughing and came running... I had to explain to a 5th and 3rd grader that I spelled Mountain wrong...
Thank you for helping me with my native language 
This is soo awesome!
