yogr:

2 points to make your working perl script a bit safer.

1) always use the warnings switch.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

2) no need to define a bunch of variables you are not going to use. Try:
$mtime=(stat($_))[9];

3) use strict; #when defineing variables its a bad habit to get into of not useing it. one i offten fall prey too.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

foreach (@ARGV) {
my $mtime=(stat($_))[9];
my ($ss,$mm,$hh,$DD,$MM,$YY)=localtime($mtime);
printf "%04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d %s\n",$YY+1900,$MM+1,$DD,$hh,$mm,$_;
}

NAME

       PX_timestamp2string -- Convert paradox timestamp into formated string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

       char * PX_timestamp2string(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, double timestamp, const char *format)

DESCRIPTION

       Creates	a  string representation of a paradox timestamp as specified in the parameter format.  The timestamp must be either retrieved with
       PX_get_data_double(3) after calling PX_get_record(3)  or  by  simply  using  the  double  value	in  the  pxval_t  struct  as  returned	by
       PX_retrieve_record(3). A timestamp contains both time and date information. The format string contains chars which stand for certain values
       of the date/time. The following table lists all available characters with a meaning. All other characters are being  copied  unmodified	to
       the output string. If a special character shall not be interpreted it must be preceded with a backslash.
