Possible to calculate localtime based on Country/State?

[Kevin]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a script or package that will allow me to calculate
the localtime given a country code (and optional state/province for
US/Canada)? It should factor in daylight saving time when applicable.
If there are special cases where country + state isn't enough that's ok,
a solution that's correct 95% of the time would be better than no
solution at all.

Thanks much,
Kevin

In unix i'm fairly sure there is a directory full of different regions
with files describing the timezones.

Otherwise, you can probably find a list of states and their timezones
relatively easily. It wouldn't be hard to hand create a list, either,
its only, what? 50-60 areas?
