The "instructions" that I know of are:
Change /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Perth
Verify things like date now return the correct time
Restart all services that have anything remotely to do with time.
So in other words, go down to single user mode and then backup to
ensure all services have the new time.
I believe if you do the fixes before the Daylight Savings change over,
and everything is running with the new zone files, then when it
changes over, everything is just cherry! Or at least it was for me :D
Changing things /after/ the date isn't really ideal.
