This will probably work better: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;


sub is_leap_year { ( $_[0] % 4 == 0 ) && ( $_[0] % 100 != 0 ) || ( $_[
+0] % 400 == 0 ) }

sub end_of_month {
    my ( $yr, $mn ) = @_;
    return is_leap_year( $yr ) ? 29 : 28 if $mn == 2;
    return 30 if $mn == 4 || $mn == 6 || $mn == 9 || $mn == 11;
    return 31;
    }

for my $year ( 1896 .. 2009 ) {
    for my $month ( 1 .. 12 ) {
        for my $day ( 1 .. end_of_month( $year, $month ) ) {
            printf "%04d%02d%02d\n", $year, $month, $day;
            }
        }
    }
