Subtract minutes from date

Hi,

I am reading a particular date from a file using below command

Code:
WFLWDATE=$(sed '2q;d' FileA.prm)

The echo command outputs the correct date in variable WFLWDATE

Now I want to subtract 5 minutes from this variable. I am on AIX and unable to get anything working as expected.

Can you please suggest?

On this forum I was provided the below code to get 5 minutes subtracted. But this subtracted is from system date. I want to subtract from a variable

Code:
$(perl -e 'use POSIX qw(strftime);print scalar(strftime "%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S" , localtime(time - 300)), "\n";' )

-Thanks

Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide			       Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)

NAME
Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangFam; $lext = code2langfam('apa'); # $lext gets 'Apache languages' $code = langfam2code('Apache languages'); # $code gets 'apa' @codes = all_langfam_codes(); @names = all_langfam_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in ISO 639-5. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5 language family codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha'); $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages. This is the default code set. ROUTINES
