Ricardo,
The way you currently have $date defined causes perl to perform division on
the right hand side of the expression before assigning the value to $date.
You need to make sure that perl knows it is a string so that split will
work correctly. You will need to do something like this:
$date = "2001/01/16";
($year, $month, $day) = split (/\//, $date);
print "year is: $year\n";
print "month is $month\n";
print "day is $day\n";
Be sure to "escape" the slash in split.
