Item8757: Modify Extensions.LocalTimePlugin to work with mod_perl2

From Support.Question433

LocalTimePlugin relies on the Date::Handler CPAN module which in turn relies on the POSIX module which in turn relies on native c calls which in turn rely on environment variables to communicate timezone information.

Date::Handler uses local $ENV{} constructs to temporarily set the timezone to the requested value for the duration of a POSIX call. Unfortunately, under mod_perl 2, %ENV is no longer tied to the underlying "c environment" so setting values in %ENV doesn't change any values in the non-Perl environment seen by the POSIX calls which always see the original (server) timezone setting.

I have a patch for this working and am working on updating the macro and its documentation. How do you want to coordinate the update?
