You're running:

 p4 changes "-t //LS/mainline/...@2004/12/20:1:08,@2004/12/21:1:07"

(i.e. with one argument to 'p4 changes') and since there's no such file 
Perforce returns no data. What you're trying to run is:

   p4 changes "-t" "//LS/mainline/...@2004/12/20:1:08,@2004/12/21:1:07"

(with two arguments to 'p4 changes') and the way to do it is:

$atsign = "@";
$timeSwitch = "-t";
$pathSwitch = "  //LS/mainline/...";
$fromDate = "2004/12/20:1:08,";
$toDate = "2004/12/21:1:07";
$fromDate = $atsign.$fromDate;
$toDate = $atsign.$toDate;
$param = $pathSwitch.$fromDate.$toDate;

my $chglist = $p4->Run ("changes", $timeSwitch, $param);
