Date conversion help from dd/mm/yyyy to dd/Mon/yyyy i.e. 28/10/2012 to 28/Oct/2012
Hi I have a problem with Date format in my code.

1st I am trying to convert today's date to yesterday's using
Code:
YESTERDAY3=`perl -e '@y=localtime(time()-86400); printf "%04d/%02d/%02d",$y[5]+1900,$y[4]+1,$y[3];$y[3];'`

And once it is done I am trying to using the yesterday date in a grep command to compare a logfile. But, the date format in logfile is 28/Oct/2012.

Could you please help me convert 28/10/2012 to 28/Oct/2012.

Thank You!

weather::com::dayforecast

Weather::Com::DayForecast(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			    Weather::Com::DayForecast(3pm)

NAME

       Weather::Com::DayForecast - class representing a forecast for one day

SYNOPSIS

	 [...]

	 my @locations = $weather_finder->find('Heidelberg');

	 my $forecast = $locations[0]->forecast();
	 my $tomorrow = $forecast->day(1);

	 print "Forecast for tomorrow:
";
	 print " - tomorrow it's the ", $tomorrow->date()->date(), "
";
	 print " - sunrise will be at ", $tomorrow->sunrise()->time(), "
";
	 print " - maximum temperature will be ", $tomorrow->high(), "
";

DESCRIPTION

       Via Weather::Com::DayForecast objects one can access the weather forecast for one specific day.

       This class will not be updated automatically with each call to one of its methods. You need to call a method of your Weather::Com::Forecast
       object to get updated objects.

CONSTRUCTOR

       You usually would not construct an object of this class yourself.  This is implicitely done when you call the "day(number of day)" or the
       "all()" method of a Weather::Com::Forecast object.

METHODS

       date()

       Returns a Weather::Com::DateTime object containing the date the forecast is for.

       high()

       Returns the maximum temperature that will be reached at daytime.

       For day 0 (today), this will be 'N/A' when it's after noon...

       There is a bug in weather.com's date and time mathematics: If you are asking for a location's forecast day 0 and it's short after midnight,
       day 0 will be "yesterday" and you'll get both, yesterday's daytime forecast and night forecast!

       I have not investigated this issue further, yet. If anyone has, please inform me!

       low()

       Returns the minimum temperature that will be reached at night.

       sunrise()

       Returns a Weather::Com::DateTime object containing the time of sunrise.

       sunset()

       Returns a Weather::Com::DateTime object containing the time of sunset.

       day()

       Returns a Weather::Com::DayPart object with all data belonging to the daytime.

       For day 0 (today), this will be "undef" when it's after noon...

       There is a bug in weather.com's date and time mathematics: If you are asking for a location's forecast day 0 and it's short after midnight,
       day 0 will be "yesterday" and you'll get both, yesterday's daytime forecast and night forecast!

       I have not investigated this issue further, yet. If anyone has, please inform me!

       night()

       Returns a Weather::Com::DayPart object with all data belonging to the night.
