The following code converts the

#finds UTC time
utc_time = dup.gmtime
#change the zone into the requested zone(parameter

ENV[”TZ”] = to_zone
#convert the UTC time to local time in the changed
zone
to_zone_time = utc_time.localtime
#Now change the zone back to the original zone
ENV[”TZ”] = original_zone
return to_zone_time

t = Time.now
# => Sun Sep 09 01:46:40 UTC 2001
