Hello jnarayan81,
The monks have already provided you with wisdom, but I am wondering why don't you simply call it through a subroutine. Your script works just fine as soon as you call the subroutine every instance that you want it.
Sample:
#!usr/bin/perl
use say;
use strict;
use warnings;
use POSIX q(strftime);
my @abc = ("a", "b", "c", "d", "e");
sub fetchTime {
return POSIX::strftime('%a, %d %b %Y %T %z', localtime);
}
for (@abc) {say fetchTime() . "\t$_"; sleep 1;}
__END__
$ perl time.pl

Hope this helps.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
