Hi,
Welcome to Perl!
Delaring variables can be done at the beginning of your program/code or at the point where you being to use those variables in the code.
For example,you may declare varaibles at the beginning of your code as in -
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $variable1;
my $variable2;
...
...
### Rest of the code follows from below
...
...
### End of the code
Also, if you are declaring variables close to the point where you begin to actually use them, you may do something as below:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
....
....
...
for (my $variable1=0; $variable1 <= $#someArray; $variable++) {
### Do something here
...
...
}
...
### Rest of the code here
...
