All the one above does is set a shell variable.  Just like any other
environment variable you really need to make sure it's exported before
trying to use it.

$ TZ=America/Anchorage
$ date           # TZ not exported yet
Mon Jan  8 07:48:52 PST 2007
$ export TZ      # Now it's visible in the environment
$ date
Mon Jan  8 06:48:57 AKST 2007
