[rt-users] Script to build timeworked report based on CustomField

Be careful! RT uses a default PERL package called CTime that includes
its own versions of strftime, localtime, etc.

In my own scrips, I found that even if I specified

  use POSIX;

up front, RT would occasionally pull the functions from CTime instead of
POSIX, and produce garbage as a result. localtime() seems to work
differently between the two packages.

For safety, I suggest using explicit function calls like

  POSIX::strftime(argument)

and

  POSIX::localtime()
