Hello.
I would like to replace my scalar value(string) with a key's value(number), which is included in hash.
So if i have a month called January it should be changed to "01"; 
$month="January";

%months=('January'  =>01,
     'February' =>02,
     'March'    =>03,
     'April'    =>04,
     'May'      =>05,
     'June'     =>06,
     'July'     =>07,
     'August'   =>08,
     'September'=>09,
     'October'  =>10,
     'November' =>11,
     'December' =>12
    );
#  if($month ?in? %months)
#  { $month=%months{$month}; }

print "$month\n";  #output-> "01"

Thanx.
