I have a variable foo that contains a time, lets say 4pm today, but the zone offset is wrong, i.e. it is in the wrong time zone. How do I change the time zone?
When I print it I get
Fri Jun 26 07:00:00 UTC 2009
So there is no offset, and I would like to set the offset to -4 or Eastern Standard Time.
I would expect to be able to just set the offset as a property of the Time object, but that doesn't seem to be available?
