Hi,

try this: 

use strict;
use warnings;

my $year = 2013; # hard coded as not in the data
my %months = (Jan => "01", Feb => "02", Mar => "03", Other => "...4 5 
+6 7 8 9", Oct => 10, Nov => 11, Dec => 12); 

my $line = <DATA>;
my ($date, $rest) = split /,/, $line;
my ($mon, $day) = split / /, $date;
my $month = $months{$mon};
my $new_date = "$month$day$year";
print $new_date, "\n";

__DATA__
Oct 31 08:30,/home/imanager/cppprod/AR_LM.csv
Oct 31 07:32,/home/imanager/cppprod/AddressDevCHUBldgProj.csv
Oct 31 08:06,/home/imanager/cppprod/AddressDevCHUBldgProj_LM.csv

This outputs this: 
$ perl dates.pl

I would suggest that you use the mkdir Perl internal function, rather that a system call. Something like this: 
mkdir $new_date or die "could not create directory $new_date $!";
