DateTime::TimeZone::Local::Win32.pm gets it out of the registry from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\TimeZoneInformation\\StandardName.
Maybe there's a StandardAbbev in there, too?

Another thought would be to use cygwin's date(1) command directly:

% perl -le '$TZ = `date +%Z`; chomp $TZ; print $TZ'
