I think it depends on both Perl version and 64/32-bit build settings.

With these combinations:

OSX 10.6.7 (64-bit) Perl 5.10.0 (64-bit)
Ubuntu 10.10 (32-bit) Perl 5.10.1 (32-bit)
WinXP (32-bit) Perl 5.10.0 (32-bit, from get_iplayer installer)

I run this command (with my hack to support Clip resources):

./get_iplayer --force --overwrite --type tv --pid p00fq0p3 --modes flashhigh --verbose --debug

and the script dies with this message:

DEBUG: 2041-03-17T23:59:00Z = 2041, 03, 17, 23, 59, 00, 0, 0
Day too big - 24912 > 24853
Cannot handle date (00, 59, 23, 17, 2, 2038) at ./get_iplayer line 4824

Line 4824 is a call to timegm()
