That's because nothing expands inside single quotes.
Why not just do the entire thing in perl? time() gets you current time in epoch seconds.

Hi,
I need to subtract 5 minutes from the date. Example
$date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S" displays 2014-06-26-06.06.38
I want to show it as 2014-06-26-06.01.38 (5 mins are subtracted from date)
Any help would be appreciated. I am currently on AIX version 6.1

Hi Folks,
I have a text file that has only time in the format HH:MM:SS like seen below.
21:36:17
23:52:08
I need to find the difference in minutes alone from this text file so the result would be 136.
Thanks

time::epoch
Epoch(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Epoch(3)
NAME
Time::Epoch - Convert between Perl epoch and other epochs
SYNOPSIS
#!/usr/bin/perl -wl
use Time::Epoch;
my $perlsec = 966770660; # Sun Aug 20 07:24:21 2000 -0400 on Mac OS
my $epochsec = perl2epoch($perlsec, 'macos', '-0400');
my $perlsec2 = epoch2perl($epochsec, 'macos', '-0400');
print $perlsec;
print $perlsec2;
print $epochsec;
# correct time on Unix:
print scalar localtime $perlsec;
# correct time on Mac OS (-0400):
print scalar localtime $epochsec;
DESCRIPTION
Exports two functions, "perl2epoch" and "epoch2perl". Currently only goes between Perl (Unix) epoch and Mac OS epoch. This is in
preparation for an eventual move of Perl to its own universal epoch, so we can get the system epoch of any platform that differs from
Perl's.
Epochs
o macos
Takes additional optional parameter of time zone differential. If time zone differential not supplied, we guess by getting the
different between "localtime" and "gmtime" with <Time::Local::timelocal>.
BUGS
o Hm. With the above test, "scalar localtime $perlsec" under my Linux box and "scalar localtime $epochsec" under my Mac OS box are off
by one second from each other. Maybe a leap second thing? Odd.
