All lectures about Y2k aside, you could do it with sprintf() or a regex:
if($var =~ /^\d{2}(\d{2})/){#two digits followed by two digits
$var = $1; #set $var as match in parentheses
}else{
die "Variable has invalid format!\n";
}

Subject: Stripping digits from a variable...
Hey all,
I have a variable that prints... 2002
I want to strip the first two digits from that. Could someone give me a
hand with that. At the moment I have ...
$year = "2002";
$year =~ s//20/;
Is there a more precise way of doing that?
Regards,
Dan
