Thanks a lot for your help,,

Can you explain me this part how it's works? 

 (?:\d{2}|\w{3})

?:       what this will do? 

And also, the output is like below


(C)/tmp/d$ perl 1
10-11-81
20-NOV-2008
05-07-1981
15-110-2008   this should not come as this as 3 digit month.
(C)/tmp/d$


Program:

(C)/tmp/d$ cat 1
#/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

open(DATA,"<a1")||die"Unable to open the file";
while(<DATA>)
{
print if /\b\d{2}\b-(\d{2}|\w{3})-\b\d{2,4}\b/;

}
close(DATA);
exit 0;
(C)/tmp/d$

  #!/usr/bin/perl
  use strict;
  use warnings;

  my $in_name = "data.in";
  {   open my $in_fh, "<", $in_name
        or die "Error with '$in_name': $!";

      while ( <$in_fh> ) {
          print if /\b\d{2}-(?:\d{2}|\w{3})-\d{1,4}/;
      }
  }
  __END__
