The format for $app_date that you give appears to be month-day-year (or day-month-year—I can't tell which), but your code thinks it's year-month-day. I think your second line down should be:

($amonth,$aday,$ayear) = split(/-/, $adate);

Pulling those fields out of your input might be a little more readable with regular expressions. You could replace all of your split lines with this (unless you need $adate or $atime later): 

( $amonth, $aday, $ayear, $ahour, $amin, $asec )
    = ( $app_date =~ /^(\d\d?)-(\d\d?)-(\d{4}) (1?\d):(\d\d):(\d\d)/ )
+;

Or this, if you're into xms regexes: 

( $amonth, $aday, $ayear, $ahour, $amin, $asec )
    = ( $app_date =~ m{ \A                      # beginning of string
                        (\d\d?)-(\d\d?)-(\d{4}) # month-day-year
                        \s                      # space separator
                        (1?\d):(\d\d):(\d\d)    # hour:minutes:seconds
                    }xms );
