Welcome to the Monastery, GrorkGnom!

Please show us the code that you're using to output the date. Here's an example that appears to get you what you want. Review the last line... the input is one thing, but it's how you output it that makes the difference:

use Time::Piece;

my $date = "Mon Jan 25 15:19:50 GMT 2016";

my $date1 = Time::Piece->strptime($date, "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y");

# code you're interested in is below here

print join ' ', $date1->wdayname, $date1->monname, $date1->mday, $date
+1->year;
