in thread Epoch to specific output

Thank you for the swift reply.

The system that I am using does not have the Posix module installed. Is there a way to do this without that option?

    Use upper case: POSIX is a Core module installed with Perl.
    perl -MPOSIX -E 'say POSIX::strftime("%m%d%H%M",localtime(time()))'

      I am using Perl v5.8.4 on an Intel based machine with Solaris 10 64bit operating system.

      The capitalized POSIX was accepted but I am receiving other errors now.

      Input:
      perl -MPOSIX -E 'say POSIX::strftime("%m%d%H%M", localtime(1388679108))'

      Output:
      Unrecognized switch: -E (-h will show valid options).

      Input:
      perl -MPOSIX -e 'say POSIX::strftime("%m%d%H%M", localtime(1388679108))'

      Output:
      Bareword found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "say POSIX::strftime"
      (Do you need to prodeclare say?)
      Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

        Your version of Perl is too old. -E requires perl 5.10. Use -e and print instead.
        perl -MPOSIX -e 'print POSIX::strftime("%m%d%H%M",localtime(time())),$ +/'

    the POSIX module has been core since God was a boy, what version/environment are you on?

    print "Good ",qw(night morning afternoon evening)[(localtime)[2]/6]," fellow monks."
