It sounds that on "one or two" of your servers, there is a program time.exe installed, most likely from the Cygwin suite of programs, which preempts the shell builtin time command.
To solve your problem, maybe you want to look at the Perl builtin functions of localtime and gmtime() together with the POSIX::strftime() function:
use strict;
use warnings;
use POSIX qw(strftime);
print strftime "%Y:%m:%d %H:%M:%S", localtime();
There are lots of format strings that strftime knows to insert into your string, like the weekday and more, should you need it.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
