If time-zone is applied to the date supplied, CEST in january is UTC+1, 
the same as CET... You're cheating "date", as Sergei stated...

One way not to cheat with date :
$ perl -e 'print scalar(localtime(1117634400)),"\n"'
Wed Jun  1 16:00:00 2005
$ perl -e 'print scalar(gmtime(1117634400)),"\n"'
Wed Jun  1 14:00:00 2005

localtime() in perl does not take timezone into account at all. Whereas 
gmtime() uses the local timezone to convert the result in GMT.
