There is no pre-defined function for that, but it's easy to do yourself.
Code:
sub month_to_name {
    my @mons = qw/Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec/;
    my $month = shift;
    return $mons[$month - 1];
}

If you need something more complex, I found the Date::Calc module very useful.
