My text file contains this type of lines. In first you can identify Date. I want to replace it with "18 May 2015" in the same file like

18 May 2015 <114319747011000001>,20150518230002,,917696706652,01,,52727,rch,,admin,,,,01,21314,,,,bulkpull2

I am coming by step to step. When i am here it gives an error.

 open(DATA,"<Pull-2015-5-18-23.txt");
my $find = "20150518";
my $replace = "18 May 2015";
while(my $line = <DATA>)
{
        $line =~        s/$find/$replace/g;
        print $line;
}
