Instead of relying on an external date program, consider looking at localtime.

So it's working fine, apart from the fact that it doesn't work?

$y_date= `date --date="yesterday"`;

had you actually run this from the command prompt you'd notice that you're being prompted for user input, hence pressing enter multiple times provides the (invalid) input. The error you get isn't from your perl code, its because you don't understand what date does. As Corion suggested, don't reply on an external program (albeit the wrong program, which you don't seem to understand how to use) to get yesterdays date.

I noticed you've added use strict; use warnings now your code won't even get to the line which causes the problem. Did you even try running this?
