in thread convert UTC time to system time zone's time with perl default method

CPAN modules are sort of designed as black boxes. I don't feel that the implied suggestion to open up the black boxes is good advice. I feel instead we should help people learn to code from first principles if they want to.

    No, you're suggesting we should help people learn the intricacies of time zones, not how to code. Most people can't even seem to remember days don't always have 24 hours.
