In the hash table, you should still quote the numbers, or remove the leading 0's . Otherwise, perl will interpret these as octal numbers, meaning "08" will end up being "10".

I dont know if I should start a new thread for this as it is contained within the same code that I'm working on in this thread but anyway I have another question

I'm trying to make a series of directories with the newly created names that I have generated...here is the loop that I have, and it doesn't seem to be working:

}
open(FOLDER, "temp.txt");
while ($test = <FOLDER>) {
#print $test;
mkdir('$test',0777) || print $!;
}

For some reason this code keeps generating code with ints instead of the actual chars contained within the file, perhaps its trying to count each line? I'm still very hazy on how to read files into vars line by line. Can anyone enlighten me>?

Remove the single quotes around $test inside the mkdir call, and it should work fine.

amend below %hash accordingly should help you some.

Code:

%hash=(Jan,"01",Jul,"07",UC,"Union City");
open FH,"<a.txt";
while(<FH>){
	@arr=split("-",$_);
	$arr[0]= ($hash{$arr[0]})?$hash{$arr[0]}:ucfirst($arr[0]);
	$arr[2]= $hash{substr($arr[2],0,3)};
	print join "-",@arr;
}
