(long series of questions about a timezone-conversion problem
omitted)

I've been working on timezone support in Net::ICal tonight. One of
the things we've got sketched out for Net::ICal::Time is a
move_to_zone function, which should do pretty much what he needs.
I'll be hacking on that this weekend.

Basically, to convert from one timezone to another, you need to
know the UTC offsets involved; from there it should be relatively
simple math. There may be a way to do this with some of the more
standard Perl date/time modules, but I'm not sure.
