I don't know what's wrong with it on your machine, but I'd change the
command in backticks to be Perl's time operator:
my $time = sprintf("0x%08x", time);
Doesn't that do the same thing? Most simple shell commands aren't
needed from Perl.

Maybe your date command doesn't support that format. But Perl's time
operator should work everywhere.
