How can I change the date formats in Perl?

Question

I just want to convert the dates from 20111230 format to 30-dec-2011.

Answer 1

Here is another solution. It uses DateTimeX::Easy:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use DateTimeX::Easy;

my $dt = DateTimeX::Easy->parse('20111230');
print lc $dt->strftime('%d-%b-%G');
