If one of those files is named date, then see if it is the GNU date utility. If so, use it in your script instead of the default system date utility.

data::faker::datetime
Data::Faker::DateTime(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Data::Faker::DateTime(3pm)
NAME
Data::Faker::DateTime - Data::Faker plugin
SYNOPSIS AND USAGE
See Data::Faker
DATA PROVIDERS

time
Return a random time as a string, using a random time format (see time_format).
rfc822
Return an RFC 822 formatted random date. This method may not work on systems using a non-GNU strftime implementation (kindly let me
know if that is the case.)

Return a random time format.

UTILITY METHODS
Data::Faker::DateTime::timestr($format);
Given a strftime format specifier, this method passes it through to POSIX::strftime along with a random date to display in that format.
Perl passes this through to the strftime function of your system library, so it is possible that some of the formatting tokens used
here will not work on your system.
NOTES AND CAVEATS
Be careful build timestamps from pieces
Be very careful about building date/time representations in formats that are not already listed here. For example if you wanted to get
a date that consists of just the month and day, you should NOT do this:
my $faker = Data::Faker->new();
print join(' ',$faker->month,$faker->dayofmonth)."
";
This is bad because you might end up with 'February 31' for example. Instead you should use the timestr utility function to provide
you a formatted time for a valid date, or better still, write a plugin function that does it:
my $faker = Data::Faker->new();
print $faker->my_short_date()."
";
package Data::Faker::MyExtras;
use base qw(Data::Faker);
use Data::Faker::DateTime;
__PACKAGE__->register_plugin(
my_short_date => sub { Data::Faker::DateTime::timestr('%M %e') },
);
POSIX::strftime
See the documentation above regarding the timestr utility method for some caveats related to strftime and your system library.
