Ok, so first let's see how a module would make this really simple.
perl -we 'use Date::Manip;
$input = "200604131145";
$output = UnixDate(DateCalc(ParseDate($input), "15 minutes"), "%Q%H%M"
+);
warn $output;'
Now if you are not allowed to use modules, you may still be able to copy the source of the Date::Manip module (surrounded by braces) to your perl script, or even copy only the relevant parts (I did that once on an online competition with a C library).

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).
