timezone conversions

I have machines in 3 different timezones.

I have a monitoring program that sends me email, and I use GMT in the
subject line and in the log recordings so it's easy to spot when
things are happening at the same physical time without having to
convert time differences in my head.

However, I'd like to add a note of current time in my home timezone in
Australia to the emails.

Date::Manip can do it, but would have to be told whether or not to use
daylight saving time for my home timezone.

Is there a perl way to tell Date::Manip whether it's daylight saving time
in Sydney or not so it knows whether to use AEST or AEDT? Or a shell
command on linux to parse?
