Hi,
I tried this in my m/c. When i do Dumper($ts), then it'll return the value 'dec-05'.
 $VAR1 = bless( {
                 'strip_html_on_match' => 1,
                 'tdepth' => undef,
                 'children' => [],
                 'head_found' => 1,
                 'gridalias' => [
                                  [
                                    \\' Month ',
