You've a couple of mistakes:
- When packing your temp value, you've written d262, when you should have used 'd262'. (use warnings would have caught that.)
- If you want to perform math operations on your value, you need to unpack it to a number: See the unpack below.
$p = unpack 'v', pack 'H4', 'd262';;
print $p;;
25298
$y = (($p & 0xFE00) >> 9) + 4;;
$m = (($p & 0x01E0) >> 5) - 1;;
$d = ($p & 0x001F);;
print join '/', $y, $m, $d;;

Note you might need to use 'n' instead of 'v' for the unpacking depending upon the endianess of the data:
$p = unpack 'n', pack 'H4', 'd262';;
print $p;;
53858
$y = (($p & 0xFE00) >> 9) + 4;;
$m = (($p & 0x01E0) >> 5) - 1;;
$d = ($p & 0x001F);;
print join '/', $y, $m, $d;;
