On Solaris 7: 
$ date -r 1003723200
date: illegal option -- r
usage:  date [-u] mmddHHMM[[cc]yy][.SS]
        date [-u] [+format]
        date -a [-]sss[.fff]

On Digital Unix 4.0F:
$ date -r 1003723200
date: illegal option -- r
Usage:  date [-u] [+field descriptors]

On Red Hat Linux 7.1:
$ date -r 1003723200
date: 1003723200: No such file or directory

But perl works on all three. :-)
