As pointed out by Franklin52 when he edited your original post for you: it is imperative that you use [code] and [/code] tags around any posted data or code. This stops things like double spaces line indents and such from being changed by the forum.

I'm guessing here that you meant that the echo has additional space between month and day but grep is still not finding the text. Can you post the actual grep statement you used and the data this it didn't match, using the code tags shown above.

Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::RequirePodAtEnd(3pmUser Contributed Perl DocumentatiPerl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::RequirePodAtEnd(3pm)

NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::RequirePodAtEnd - All POD should be after "__END__".

AFFILIATION

       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION

       Perl stops processing code when it sees an "__END__" statement.	So, to save processing time, it's faster to put documentation after the
       "__END__".  Also, writing all the POD in one place usually leads to a more cohesive document, rather than being forced to follow the layout
       of your code.  This policy issues violations if any POD is found before an "__END__".

CONFIGURATION

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.

NOTES

       Some folks like to use "=for", and "=begin", and "=end" tags to create block comments in-line with their code.  Since those tags aren't
       usually part of the documentation, this Policy does allows them to appear before the "__END__" statement.

	   =begin comments

	   frobulate()
	   Accepts:  A list of things to frobulate
	   Returns:  True if successful

	   =end comments

	   sub frobulate { ... }
