This is my first contribution to the list, I hope it helps. You should
be able to extract your date data using this regex -
($day, $month, $year) = $date =~ /(\d{1,2})(\w{3,})(\d{4})/;
This assumes $date contains your date string and results in $day, $month
and $year containing the individual data bits.
