How can I get and use a user's TZ setting from their .bashrc in a Perl CGI script?

tz

Each of my users has a (possibly) different TZ defined in their .bashrc. I have a Perl script that displays date/time and want it to have it display with their profile time zone.

Does anyone know the best way to do this?
