Perl script variable to read shell command

Solaris 10
Korn shell ksh,

Hi there,

I have figured out to get yesterday's date which is using the below command:
TZ=GMT+24; date +%d-%b-%Y to get the format of 30-Sep-2008 and
TZ=GMT+24; date +%Y%m%d to get the format of 20080930.

I need this two format. In my perl script below I need the variable of $date and $folder to have the above format. Below method don't work. Please help.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# FILENAME: collectLog-smtp.pl
# Version : 1.o
# Purpose : Collect log for the specify date
# Changes : n/a
#
# Editable settings
# Variable

my $date = `TZ=GMT+24 date +%d-%b-%Y`;
my $folder = `TZ=GMT+24 date +%Y%m%d`;
#my $date = "30-Sep-2008";
#my $folder = "20080930";

# DO NOT modify the below settings
my $row = "";
my $input = "/jes/dist/sbas-poc/report/" . $folder . "/smtp/smtp.mail.tmp";
my $output = "/jes/dist/sbas-poc/report/" . $folder . "/smtp/smtp.mail.log";

open(INFILE, "$input") or die "Cannot open input file";
open(OUTFILE1, ">$output") or die "Cannot open output file";

while (<INFILE>)
{

# 14x argument
# col[0] = date
# col[1] = timestamp
# col[2] = msg ID
# col[3] = source channel
# col[4] = either destination channel OR log status
# col[5] = either log status OR mail size
# col[6] = either mail size OR sender address
# col[7] = either sender OR rfc;recipient address
# col[8] = either rfc;recipient address OR recipient address

$row=$_;
@col = split /\s+/, $row;

if( $col[0] eq $date )
{
print OUTFILE1 "$row";
}

}
close INFILE;
close OUTFILE1;

sortm

sortm(1)						      General Commands Manual							  sortm(1)

NAME

       sortm - sort messages (only available within the message handling system, mh)

SYNOPSIS

       sortm [msgs] [+folder] [options]

OPTIONS

       Specifies  the name of the header field to use when making the date comparison. If you have a special field in each message, such as Deliv-
       ery-Date:, then the -datefield switch can be used to tell sortm which field to examine. If you do not give this option, the default  is	to
       use  the  Date:	header	field.	Prints a list of all the valid options to this command.  Displays the general actions that it is taking to
       place the folder in sorted order. The -noverbose option performs these actions silently. The default is -noverbose.

       The default settings for this command are:

       +folder defaults to the current folder msgs defaults to all -datefield date -noverbose

DESCRIPTION

       The command sortm sorts all the messages in the current folder into chronological order according to the contents of the  Date:	fields	of
       the messages.

       By  default, sortm sorts all the messages in the current folder. You can select particular messages in the folder by giving a range of mes-
       sages. You can also sort messages in another folder by specifying the folder name.

       If sortm encounters a message without a Date: field, or if the message has a Date: field that sortm cannot parse, it attempts to  keep  the
       message	in  the  same  relative  position. However, this does not always work; for instance, if the first message encountered lacks a date
       which can be parsed, then it will usually be placed at the end of the messages being sorted.

       When sortm complains about a message which it cannot order, it complains about the message number prior to sorting.

PROFILE COMPONENTS

       Path: To determine your MH directory

EXAMPLES

       The following example sorts all the messages in the folder +meetings: % sortm +meetings The next example sorts messages 10-30 in the folder
       called +test: % sortm +test 10-30
