Ugh.  If "SOAP" is part of your answer, you asked the wrong question.

See Geo::GeoNames in the CPAN:

    use Geo::GeoNames;
    my $result = Geo::GeoNames->new->search(q => 'Portland, Oregon',
       maxRows => 1,
       style => 'FULL');
    print $result->[0]{timezone}{content}, "\n";

    ==>

    America/Los_Angeles

As I would expect.
