#=> GMT+11 is the comment part. If you want to change the actual time zone change it like this

Code:
 
@time=gmtime(time +(11*3600)); #=> GMT +11

Also you dont the shell scripts.

Just run only this

Code:
perl -e '
use POSIX qw(strftime);
@time=gmtime(time +(11*3600)); #=> GMT +11
$day = strftime("%A",0,0,0,$time[3],$time[4],$time[5],-1,-1,-1);
print "$day\n"'
