I need to ask a question of you'all here...I have looked on this site and seen similar type problems, but nothing has helped me resolve this problem.

I am very new to perl--this is my first script. This script is a part of a larger one. I am having problems converting the default output of $Month from 2, to Mar or what ever the month is. Below is my code. Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong. I am not getting anything in the output file.

my $file;
my $path ='\/a\/notify\/';
my $rslt = 'result.txt';
my @files;

$ext = "\.log";

  ($Second, $Minute, $Hour, $DayOfMonth, $Month, $Year,
     $WeekDay, $DayOfYear, $IsDST) = localtime(time);

open(OUT, ">>$rslt");

if ($Month =0)
{
    my $New_mo = 'Jan';
}
if ($Month =1)
{
    my $New_mo = 'Feb';
}
if ($Month =2)
{
    my $New_mo = 'Mar';
}
if ($Month =3)
{
    my $New_mo = 'Apr';
}
if ($Month =4)
{
    my $New_mo = 'May';
}
if ($Month =5)
{
    my $New_mo = 'Jun';
}
if ($Month =6)
{
    my $New_mo = 'Jul';
}
if ($Month =7)
{
    my $New_mo = 'Aug';
}
if ($Month =8)
{
    my $New_mo = 'Sep';
}
if ($Month =9)
{
    my $New_mo = 'Oct';
}
if ($Month =10)
{
    my $New_mo = 'Nov';
}
if ($Month =11)
{
    my $New_mo = 'Dec';
}
print OUT $New_mo;

close (OUT);
