Jim,

I had already done that.  But when I looked at the code in those two 
modules, it appeared that they just manipulate dates, but don't actually 
do their own logging.

My problem is specifically with the writing to a log file.  (In fact, if I 
configure to write to syslog instead, I get local time with no mods, and 
this makes sense from the code because syslogging is treated differently).

I was hoping that there is some other module that is influencing the date 
in the logs in a more subtle way, perhaps not calling gmtime directly.

Or, maybe RT.pm is the only responsible module, but I need to do more than 
just copy it to local/lib. (Unlike mason components, there doesn't seem to 
be a cache that needs to be deleted.  Besides, I am getting localtime in 
most of my log messages, it's just that about 1/3 of them are still using 
GMT).

Mike
