Perl Script Syntax error in version 4

Hi , I use the following simple perl script to find the yesterday time

Code:

perl  -e ' use POSIX(strftime); print POSIX::strftime("%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y", localtime(time-86400*$ARGV[0]))' 1

However in the perl version 4 , it gives me the following error :

Quote:

syntax error in file /tmp/perl-eK4elEa at line 1, next 2 tokens "use POSIX"
syntax error in file /tmp/perl-eK4elEa at line 1, next 2 tokens "POSIX:"
Execution of /tmp/perl-eK4elEa aborted due to compilation errors.

Do the perl version 4 does not support use POSIX???
