Take a look at the Date::Manip module:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Date::Manip;
my $date = UnixDate(ParseDate("20050829"), "%b %e %Y");
print "$date\n";
See perldoc Date::Manip for the details. Roll you own solutions are
faster for specific conversions, but if you're oging to be doing a lot
of date conversions, Date::Manip is your friend.
