Help with timezone conversion

Hi,

Date_ConvTZ of module Date:Manip, converts time zone to specified server but without day time savings...

$mod = Date_ConvTZ($date,"$thisTZ","$serverTZ");

US and UK timezone difference is 5 hrs, but above function will return difference of 4 hrs.

Please help

I suspect that the problem arises because the start and end dates of daylight savings time are different in North America than in the UK.
