New to perl because you of time of practice or things you don't know? Whichever, you still have to make time to know the right tools for your job. Without taking anything away from the wise monks that has posted here before now, you can use Schwartzian transform like so:
use warnings;
use strict;
my @mon_yr = qw/ APR12 MAR13 APR11 MAR12 FEB13 APR13/;
my %mon_name = (
'JAN' => 1,
'FEB' => 2,
'MAR' => 3,
'APR' => 4,
# add others if you want
);
print join $/ => map { $_->[0] }
sort {
$a->[2] <=> $b->[2]
||
$a->[1] <=> $b->[1] }
map {
/(\w+?)(\d+?)$/;
[ $_, $mon_name{$1}, $2 ]
} @mon_yr;
print $/;
Schwartzian transform is simply using "map" and "sort" from perl is nothing difficult..... you see :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
