This will handle feb, 02, or 2
No, it won't handle anything.

This will handle feb, 02, or 2 but will not handle february itself - so
you may want to check first that you are indeed passing in 1-2
Well, to go along with the other example(s), here is a way of doing it using
the localtime() function:
use strict;
use warnings;
my ($second, $minute, $hour, $dayOfMonth, $month, $yearOffset, $dayOfWeek,
