Subject: Problem with localtime from Cygwin's perl

I'm observing the following:

C09-272-A:date
Thu Mar 18 19:22:53 PST 2004
C09-272-A:perl -e 'print scalar (localtime) . "\n"'
Fri Mar 19 03:22:58 2004
C09-272-A:ccperl -e 'print scalar (localtime) . "\n"'
Thu Mar 18 19:23:03 2004
C09-272-A:type -p perl
/bin/perl
C09-272-A:type -p ccperl
/dev/c/progra~1/rational/clearc~1/bin/ccperl
C09-272-A:uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 C09-272-A 1.5.7(0.109/3/2) 2004-01-30 19:32 i686 unknown 
unknown Cygwin

Notice that when using Cygwin's perl I get a GMT time but when using 
ccperl (A perl from Rational Clearcase based off of ActiveState) I get a 
proper PST time. My question is why and what can I do to fix it.
