If you have set the timezone correctly ("print - $TZ") it changes atuomatically.

There are several timezones with their daylight savings already predefined, but you can use your own if nothing suits you. The command to change the timezone setting is "chtz", but you can use a SMIT panel for that: "System environments"/"Change / Show Date and Time" ("smitty chtz_date").

For instance have a server in Germany, where the DST starts on the last Sunday of March and ends at the last Sunday of October. The TZ variable reads:

NFT-1DFT-2:00:00,M3.5.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/03:00:00

That means:

NFT-1DFT is the timezones name, "Norway (to) France, -1h DFT"

M3.5.0/02:00:00 The DST starts on the "5th" Sunday of month 3, that is the respective last sunday in the month March at 2 am

M10.5.0/03:00:00 The DST ends on the "5th" Sunday of Month 10, the last Sunday of October, at 3 am.

DST is achieved by adding one 1 h at 2 am onthe last Sunday in March, so the clock will go from 2:00 to 3:01 and having the clock stand still on the last Sunday in October, so at 2:00 am the clock is stopped and starts working one hour later.

Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Australia(3)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		       Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Australia(3)

NAME

       Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Australia - Fetch Australian stock quotes via Yahoo.

SYNOPSIS

	   use Finance::Quote;
	   my $q = Finance::Quote->new;

	   my %info = $q->fetch("yahoo_australia","BHP"); # Use this module only.
	   my %info = $q->fetch("australia","BHP"); # Failover with other methods.

DESCRIPTION

       This module allows information to be fetched from Yahoo abouts stocks traded on the Australian Stock Exchange.  Information about indexes
       (such as the All Ordinaries) are not available through this module, although if information is requested from the "australia" source then
       these will automatically failover to direct queries from the Australian Stock Exchange.

       This module is loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object, although it can be explicitly loaded by passing the argument
       "Yahoo::Australia" to Finance::Quote->new().

       This module provides both the "australia" and "yahoo_australia" fetch methods.  You should use the "australia" method if you wish to allow
       failovers to other sources, and "yahoo_australia" if you only want to obtain quotes from this module.

       Information obtained via this module is governed by Yahoo's terms and conditions, see http://au.finance.yahoo.com/ for more details.

LABELS RETURNED

       This module returns all the standard labels (where available) provided by Yahoo, as well as the currency label.	See
       Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Base for more information.
