Hi,
I've come to realize my equation should have been set up as
In[1]:= {u[t], v[t]} /.
DSolve[{ D[u[t], t] == -v[t], D[v[t], t] == u[t], u[0] == x,
v[0] == y}, {u, v}, t] // First // FullSimplify
Then the answer comes out as:
Out[1]= {x Cos[t] - y Sin[t], y Cos[t] + x Sin[t]}
Thanks Steve & Oliver,
Dave

You can solve this with NDSolve in version 7:
L = 4;
sol = NDSolve[{
D[u[t, x, y], t] + D[u[t, x, y], x] == 0
, u[t, -L, y] == u[t, L, y]
, u[t, x, -L] == u[t, x, L]
, u[0, x, y] == Exp[-(x^2 + y^2)]
}, u, {t, 0, 1}, {x, -L, L}, {y, -L, L}]
Manipulate[
Plot3D[u[t, x, y] /. First[sol], {x, -L, L}, {y, -L, L},
PlotRange -> All], {t, 0, 1}]
