Time::Local::timelocal's month argument should be in the range 0..11. 
Assuming your input has month dates in the range 1..12, you're off by one.

Where is $table_sort set, and what is it set to?

You give us sample output (which is difficult to read for date information,
consider splitting the middle column into more columns and using a
fixed-width font), but sample input is a little more important for
determining what's going wrong.
