Try: 

$Variables[$X]=$Year."-".$Months{$Month} ."-" . $Day ;

Also see sprintf for formatting text strings (e.g.: $Day = sprintf('%02d', $Day);)

But really you should avoid manipulating dates by hand. There are plenty of modules that do it better, faster and more safely. See for example DateTime::Format::Strptime. This will give you a tool to read in a date using whatever format you have it in, transform it in some way if desired, and print it out again in a different format. For example: 

use strict; use warnings; use feature 'say';
use DateTime::Format::Strptime;

my $date = 'Apr 23 2017 11:56:42';

my $parser = DateTime::Format::Strptime->new( pattern => '%b %d %Y %T'
+, on_error => 'croak' );

my $dt = $parser->parse_datetime( $date );

say $dt->strftime('%F');

Output: 
2017-04-23

Hope this helps!

Update: Added DT and sprintf examples


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
