Strange. It works perfectly on my system?

If your using a *nix system, you may need to swap every occurance of the " char for a ' and vice versa. That's the only thing that comes to mind.

If that doesn't work maybe one of the *nix guys hereabouts will help you further.

By way of proof that I did test this, here is a snippet of output from my screen. 

C:\test>perl -F, -ane "local $,=','; print scalar localtime($F[0]), @F
+[1..$#F] " <junk.dat

Okay you lot, get your wings on the left, halos on the right. It's one size fits all, and "No!", you can't have a different color.
Pick up your cloud down the end and "Yes" if you get allocated a grey one they are a bit damp under foot, but someone has to get them.
Get used to the wings fast cos its an 8 hour day...unless the Govenor calls for a cyclone or hurricane, in which case 16 hour shifts are mandatory.
Just be grateful that you arrived just as the tornado season finished. Them buggers are real work.
