    Simply create an array containing the months in order. You'll be able to reference them as $months[0] through $months[11], so to get the current month you should simply be able to refer to $months[$mon].

    strftime is your friend. 
    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use POSIX qw|strftime|;

my $month = strftime('%B', localtime);
print "$month\n";
