    Just put the month names in quotes, and everything will be fine. Now you are treating them as bare words, and bare words have to look like indentifier names. Identifier names can only contain the letters 'a' to 'z' (any case), digits and underscores.

    You should be quoting string constants, like "Februar". Perl will let you not do so under certain circumstances, but for many of these circumstances it isn't recommended. Put use strict; use warnings; at the beginning of your code, and you will be required to quote your strings where it's a good idea to.

      Very important. I put use strict; and use warnings; and show me many warnings. I must clean my code.

    Incidentally, why are you using a hash for this? The month numbers are sequential; 
    @mesiac = qw(Január Február Marec Apríl Máj Jún Júl August September O
+któber November December);

    [download]
    The only difference is that the arrays are 0-based; you'd do $mesiac[0] for January instead of $mesiac{1}.
    --Stevie-O 
    $"=$,,$_=q>|\p4<6 8p<M/_|<('=>
.q>.<4-KI<l|2$<6%s!<qn#F<>;$,
.=pack'N*',"@{[unpack'C*',$_]
}"for split/</;$_=$,,y[A-Z a-z]
         {}cd;print lc
