Rails - Feb 2010 - why doesn't "config.time_zone = 'location'" ensure Time.now gives the time back in this time zone???

Hi,

I''m after a way of ensuring all my Time work (e.g. using Time.now)
uses the time zone I define as default.  To do this I''ve set the
following line in config/environment.rb:

  config.time_zone = ''Brisbane''

But even after this, if I open up "./script/console" I note that
Time.now doesn''t work.  That is I see:

  ?> Time.now
  => Thu Feb 25 16:45:36 -0800 2010
  ?>
  ?> Time.zone.now
  => Fri, 26 Feb 2010 10:45:33 EST +10:00
  >>

Is there not a way in rails to ensure any usage of Time.now will give
the time in the configured time_zone, i.e. when used in views /
controllers / ruby files that are in lib but called from controllers
etc?

thanks

   ENV[''TZ''] = ''Australia/Brisbane''
