Okay I got the script working...Thank you VERY much for your help...one more thing though
it minor dont worry...

I want the output to be as follows

YEAR-MN-DY-YR- Subject -BLH
so there should be a space before and after the subject
also I need the Month to be two digits
I tried altering the code by putting Feb => 02 instead of Feb => 2 but it errors out
I also tried changing the print line to ...,0$month,...or ...,'0' month,... that errors out as well

can you give me some guidance on syntax

#!/usr/bin/perl

open(FILE, "test3.txt") or die ("The file is not found");

%citymap = ( UC => "Union City", VJ => "Vallejo", Vallejo => "Vallejo",berk => "
Berkeley", Berk => "Berkeley" );
%month2int = ( Jan => 1, Feb => 2, Mar => 3, mar => 3, March => 3, Apr => 4, ap
r => 4, April => 4, may => 5, May => 5, Jun => 6, Jul => 7, July => 7, jul => 7,
aug => 8, Aug => 8, August => 8, august => 8, Sept => 9, September => 9, sept =
> 9,Okt => 10, Oct => 10, October => 10, oct => 10, nov => 11, Nov => 11, Novemb
er => 11, november => 11, Dec => 12, December => 12, december => 12);

while (<FILE>) {
($city,$year,$month,$day,$title,$speaker)=split('-');
$month=exists $month2int{$month} ? $month2int{$month} : $month;
$city=exists $citymap{$city} ? $citymap{$city} : ucfirst($city);
print join("- ",$city,$year,$month,$day,$title,$speaker);

Prima::Calendar(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					Prima::Calendar(3)

NAME
Prima::Calendar - standard calendar widget SYNOPSIS
use Prima::Calendar; my $cal = Prima::Calendar-> create( useLocale => 1, onChange => sub { print $_[0]-> date_as_string, " "; }, ); $cal-> date_from_time( localtime ); $cal-> month( 5); DESCRIPTION
Provides interactive selection of date between 1900 and 2099 years. The main property, date, is a three-integer array, day, month, and year, in the format of perl localtime ( see "localtime" in perlfunc ) - day can be in range from 1 to 31,month from 0 to 11, year from 0 to 199. API
Events Change Called when the date property is changed. Properties date DAY, MONTH, YEAR Accepts three integers in format of "localtime". DAY can be from 1 to 31, MONTH from 0 to 11, YEAR from 0 to 199. Default value: today's date. day INTEGER Selects the day in month. firstDayOfWeek INTEGER Selects the first day of week, an integer between 0 and 6, where 0 is Sunday is the first day, 1 is Monday etc. Default value: 0 month Selects the month. useLocale BOOLEAN If 1, the locale-specific names of months and days of week are used. These are read by calling "POSIX::strftime". If invocation of POSIX module fails, the property is automatically assigned to 0. If 0, the English names of months and days of week are used. Default value: 1 See also: date_as_string year Selects the year. Methods can_use_locale Returns boolean value, whether the locale information can be retrieved by calling "strftime". month2str MONTH Returns MONTH name according to useLocale value. make_months Returns array of 12 month names according to useLocale value. day_of_week DAY, MONTH, YEAR, [ USE_FIRST_DAY_OF_WEEK = 1 ] Returns integer value, from 0 to 6, of the day of week on DAY, MONTH, YEAR date. If boolean USE_FIRST_DAY_OF_WEEK is set, the value of "firstDayOfWeek" property is taken into the account, so 0 is a Sunday shifted forward by "firstDayOfWeek" days. The switch from Julian to Gregorian calendar is ignored. date_as_string [ DAY, MONTH, YEAR ] Returns string representation of date on DAY, MONTH, YEAR according to useLocale property value. date_from_time SEC, MIN, HOUR, M_DAY, MONTH, YEAR, ... Copies date from "localtime" or "gmtime" result. This helper method allows the following syntax: $calendar-> date_from_time( localtime( time)); AUTHOR
