Try:
Code:
perl -MPOSIX -sle '@t=localtime; $t[4]-=1 ; print strftime("%b%y",@t)'

or:
Code:
perl -MPOSIX -sle '@t=localtime; $t[4]-=$m ; print strftime("%b%y",@t)' -- -m=1


--
EDIT:

This does not work reliably when $t[4]-=1 is not a valid date..
Instead try:

Code:
perl -MPOSIX -sle '@t=localtime; $t[4]-=1 ; $t[3]=15; print strftime("%b%y",@t)'

or
Code:
perl -MPOSIX -sle '@t=localtime; $t[4]-=$m ; $t[3]=15; print strftime("%b%y",@t)' -- -m=1
