That almost definitely won't work, as the Timezone setting needs more 
information than NZDT.  For Auckland, the RH8 setting should probably be 
"Pacific/Auckland".  If that doesn't work, look for a directory on your 
system called zoneinfo.  Find the file under that directory that is correct 
for your location, and put the path relative to the zoneinfo directory in 
config.pm.  I suggest Pacific/Auckland because on my machine there is a file
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Pacific/Auckland that contains the timezone settings for 
Auckland, NZ.

Good luck!
