51 RT::Date - a simple Object Oriented date.
59 RT Date is a simple Date Object designed to be speedy and easy for RT to use
61 The fact that it assumes that a time of 0 means "never" is probably a bug.

150 things out. This is a heavyweight operation that should never be called from
151 within RT's core. But it's really useful for something like the textbox date
152 entry where we let the user do whatever they want.

994 =head3 Localtime $context [$time]
996 Takes one mandatory argument C<$context>, which determines whether
997 we want "user local", "system" or "UTC" time. Also, takes optional
998 argument unix C<$time>, default value is the current unix time.
1000 Returns object's date and time in the format provided by perl's
1001 builtin functions C<localtime> and C<gmtime> with two exceptions:
1003 1) "Year" is a four-digit year, rather than "years since 1900"
1005 2) The last element of the array returned is C<offset>, which
1006 represents timezone offset against C<UTC> in seconds.
1013 my $tz = $self->Timezone(shift);
1015 my $unix = shift || $self->Unix;
1016 $unix = 0 unless $unix >= 0;
1020 @local = gmtime($unix);
1023 local $ENV{'TZ'} = $tz;
1024 ## Using POSIX::tzset fixes a bug where the TZ environment variable
1027 @local = localtime($unix);
1029 POSIX::tzset(); # return back previouse value
1031 $local[5] += 1900; # change year to 4+ digits format
1032 my $offset = Time::Local::timegm_nocheck(@local) - $unix;
1033 return @local, $offset;
1036 =head3 Timelocal $context @time
1038 Takes argument C<$context>, which determines whether we should
1039 treat C<@time> as "user local", "system" or "UTC" time.
1041 C<@time> is array returned by L<Localtime> functions. Only first
1042 six elements are mandatory - $sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon and $year.
1043 You may pass $wday, $yday and $isdst, these are ignored.
1045 If you pass C<$offset> as ninth argument, it's used instead of
1046 C<$context>. It's done such way as code
1047 C<$self->Timelocal('utc', $self->Localtime('server'))> doesn't
1048 makes much sense and most probably would produce unexpected
1049 result, so the method ignore 'utc' context and uses offset
1050 returned by L<Localtime> method.

1079 =head3 Timezone $context
1081 Returns the timezone name.
1083 Takes one argument, C<$context> argument which could be C<user>, C<server> or C<utc>.
1089 Default value is C<user> that mean it returns current user's Timezone value.
1093 If context is C<server> it returns value of the C<Timezone> RT config option.
1097 If both server's and user's timezone names are undefined returns 'UTC'.
