Subject: converting Unix time to Ruby time

I've been passed an integer:

   1325376000

... which is the number of seconds since midnight, Jan 1, 1970 IN A
SPECIFIC TIME ZONE (in this case, Pacific).  Assuming I know the time
zone (I actually don't -- see PS below), how to I convert this into a
Ruby time object?  I could fudge by adding the number of seconds in the
time zone offset, but that seems suspect.

- ff

P.S.: Even if I know that 1325376000 is given in Pacific Time, I don't
know a-priori if that's UTC-0800 or UTC-0700 because of daylight savings
time.  If there's an easy way to take that into account, that would be
nifty.
