Code:

$stimx = localtime($^T);


print ((split/ /,$stimx)[1]);
print "\n";

oh, in digit form:

Code:
#----------------------------------------------------------------------#
# perl localtime.                                                      #
#----------------------------------------------------------------------#
$now = time;
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) =
  localtime( $now );

#----------------------------------------------------------------------#
# convert to datetime.                                                 #
#----------------------------------------------------------------------#
$current = sprintf( "%04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d",
  $year + 1900,
  $mon + 1,
  $mday,
  $hour,
  $min,
  $sec
  );

print "current-date: $current\n";

month only:

Code:
#----------------------------------------------------------------------#
# convert to datetime.                                                 #
#----------------------------------------------------------------------#
$current_month = sprintf( "%02d", $mon + 1 );
 
print "current-month: $current_month\n";

Code:
zsh-4.3.9[sysadmin]% perl -e'printf "%.2d\n",(localtime)[4]+1'

If you had read the localtime() man page you would see that in scalar context localtime returns a different value than it does when used in list context. You are getting the name of the month instead of the number of the month because you are using localtime in scalar context.
