Actually it is easy but then again it doesn't matter since localtime on the
server is UTC here.  :-)

I haven't tried it for awhile but it seems to me that output can be
adjusted to any timezone no matter what the local server's localtime is.  I
think that requires /usr/share/zoneinfo (libc) but don't quote me on that. 
I know that a call to "date" on the commandline definetly can be
adjusted to differing timezones without setting the system date.  I don't
see why the Perl module would be any different.  I'll check it later since
we here at Kumalockasun would find that useful wrt network date.

Life is good,
Maurice
