Hi all

something like this : Aug 29 2005
but it still eludes me how to do that
can anyone help me please?

I normally don't just give out answers. Next time I'm sure someone will
say "do your own homework....".
If you want to do this yourself, look at the following:
POSIX module (strftime function)
substr function.
Otherwise, look at the code below.
use strict;
use POSIX;
my $date = 20050829;
my ($y, $m, $d) = (substr($date, 0, 4), substr($date, 4, 2),
substr($date, 6, 2));
print strftime("%a %d %Y", 0, 0, 0, $d, $m-1, $y-1900);
