Subject:	perl 5.8.2's localtime reports gmtime

I'm running the latest cygwin, including perl 5.8.2:
% perl -version

This is perl, v5.8.2 built for cygwin-thread-multi-64int

When I use localtime, I get the same result as gmtime:
% perl -e 'print scalar gmtime, "\n", scalar localtime, "\n"'
Mon Mar  1 06:18:07 2004
Mon Mar  1 06:18:07 2004

Even though I'm in PST.  My TZ environment variable (i.e., setenv TZ 
...) is set to PST8PDT. I've tried it with TZ set to 
PST8PST7,M4.1.0/2,M10.5.0/2  (The default value.  It's not set in the 
WIN XP Environment.  I don't know how it got there.), and also by 
unsetenv'ing TZ.  All 3 variants give the same result.

Does anyone have an idea what I need to set to get localtime to work?

Thanks,
Steve
