There is nothing in concrete in Perl, so up to the individual. To me
for this type of action, you create your own. You can posibbly use
Date::Manip or one of the other Date routines, but alot of times this add a
lot of extra overhead for piece of data you want to work with.

One way:
my $date = '20020706';
my @months = qw(
January February March April May June July
August September October November December
);
my ( $year, $mon, $day ) = unpack 'a4a2a2', $date;
my $newdate = "$months{$mon - 1}
