A cursory check of the archives would have dug up this exchange:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-02/msg00582.html
Sooo - either try the latest snapshot of the cygwin1.dll, or
wait for release 1.5.8.
And *when* will that be you might ask??
The definitive answer:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-02/msg00716.html
And if that seems a little vague and non-commital (much less helpful),
given that it's only February, you can ponder this:

Subject: localtime() acting like gmtime() in Perl
Hello,
localtime() seems to be returning GMT instead of the local
time. I've
tested the same script on three different machines. (Unfortunately, on
linux and sgi, they are using perl 5.6.1 whereas on cygwin, I'm using
5.8.2, but I don't *think* it's a perl bug). If I just use 'date', I
get the correct local time. Any ideas?
TIA,
Charles
---- script -----
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $localt = localtime();
my $gmt = gmtime();
system "date";
print "local $localt\ngmt $gmt\n";
