Hello Priya07,
Welcome to the Monastery. Another possible way is to use the Date::Manip module:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Date::Manip;
use feature 'say';
my $datestr = ParseDate("today");
say UnixDate($datestr,"Year:%Y Month: %b Day: %e");
my $deltastr = ParseDateDelta("14 months ago");
say UnixDate($deltastr,"Year:%Y Month: %b Day: %e");
say Date_Cmp($datestr, $deltastr); # gives you the difference
say Date_Cmp($datestr, $datestr); # gives you no difference
__END__
$ perl test.pl

Update: Removed one unnecessary line of code.
Hope this helps, BR.
