A few questions to get more information:

1) Could you check again if that output is really for 20180105 and not 20170705 ?
Code:
Yes I still see same output for both inputs

$ perl get_quarter_dates.pl 20180105
2016-07-01 2016-09-30
2016-10-01 2016-12-31
2017-01-01 2017-03-31
2017-04-01 2017-06-30

2) What output do you get for 20170705 ?
Code:
$ perl get_quarter_dates.pl 20170705
2016-07-01 2016-09-30
2016-10-01 2016-12-31
2017-01-01 2017-03-31
2017-04-01 2017-06-30

3) Are there any other dates, besides 20180105, for which the output is incorrect ?
Tried all months except for Jan remaining all looks perfect

4) Could you run the program for all the dates I ran it, in my post?
Code:
$ perl get_quarter_dates.pl 20170705
2016-07-01 2016-09-30
2016-10-01 2016-12-31

5) Did you make any changes in the Perl program I posted ?

Nope, Just copied as it is

6) What is your Perl version? The following command shows the version:

Code:
perl -v
