I don't see that data in the pref resources, any of them.  But it may work
for you.  Here's some code to get the resource data.

	#!perl
	use File::Spec::Functions;
	use Mac::Files;
	use Mac::Memory;
	use Mac::Resources;

	my $file = catfile(
	    FindFolder(kOnSystemDisk, kPreferencesFolderType),
	    'Date & Time Preferences'
	);

	my $rsfile = FSpOpenResFile($file, 0);
	my $rsrc   = GetResource('pref', 256);
	print $rsrc->get;

	CloseResFile($rsfile);
