As Arved said, 11 is correct.  MacPerl comes with a mostly complete set of
documentation.  Please check it out.  In the documentation for the module
you are using:

# This module's default exports override the core localtime() function,
# replacing it with a version that returns "Time::tm" objects.


So, we go to perlfunc.pod for localtime:

# All array elements are numeric, and come straight out of a struct tm. In
# particular this means that $mon has the range 0..11 and $wday has the
# range 0..6 with sunday as day 0.  Also, $year is the number of years
# since 1900, that is, $year is 123 in year 2023.
