Hello,

how can I parse a Date from a String into a Time object?

I tried the following but the timezone seems to be ignored:

irb(main):012:0>  t =3D ParseDate.parsedate("Tue, 16 Jul 2002 21:25:08 +020=
0")
[2002, 7, 16, 21, 25, 8, "+0200", 2]
irb(main):013:0> Time.gm(t[5],t[4],t[3],t[2],t[1],t[0],nil,nil,nil,t[7])
Tue Jul 16 21:25:08 UTC 2002
irb(main):014:0> Time.local(t[5],t[4],t[3],t[2],t[1],t[0],nil,nil,nil,t[7])
Tue Jul 16 21:25:08 CEST 2002
irb(main):015:0> Time.local(t[5],t[4],t[3],t[2],t[1],t[0],nil,nil,nil,"+030=
0")
Tue Jul 16 21:25:08 CEST 2002
irb(main):016:0> Time.gm(t[5],t[4],t[3],t[2],t[1],t[0],nil,nil,nil,"+0300")
Tue Jul 16 21:25:08 UTC 2002
irb(main):017:0>=20

The only way to change the timezone I found is using either #gm or
#local but then I'm stuck to my local timezone.

Any help would be appreciated,
	-billy.
