Sure it's possible:

Code:
$
$ cat -n tst1.pl
     1  #!/usr/bin/perl
     2  @months = qw(Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec);
     3  $day="091023";
     4  ($day_combine = $day) =~ s/([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})/20$1-$months[$2-1]-$3/;
     5  print $day_combine,"\n";
     6
$
$ perl tst1.pl
2009-Oct-23
$
$

And, taking it a step further, why not remove the middle-man completely ? Smilie

Code:
$
$ cat -n tst2.pl
     1  #!/usr/bin/perl
     2  @months = qw(Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec);
     3  $day_combine="091023";
     4  $day_combine =~ s/([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})/20$1-$months[$2-1]-$3/;
     5  print $day_combine,"\n";
