You don't say what database you're using, but if its Oracle, then the default datetime format is often 'DD-MON-YYYY'. I usually execute these statements after every connect:
    $dbh->do(q(ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT='YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:S
+S');
    $dbh->do(q(ALTER SESSION SET NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT='YYYY-MM-DD HH24
+:MI:SSxFF');
    $dbh->do(q(ALTER SESSION SET NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT='YYYY-MM-DD H
+H24:MI:SSxFF');

That would get you the date and time. If you just want the time, select some function of the datetime that just extracts the time, or do a simple s/.*\s// or something on the datetime returned.

Also, please wrap your code in <code></code> tags. And think about using placeholders and bind values in your SQL instead of injecting variables into your SQL. And no, I'm not going to email you.
