I do declare variables in the smallest scope possible -- but I do also put them at the beginning of the block.
Either you have a lot of very small blocks, or you're contradicting yourself.
{
my $foo;
... # n1 lines
$foo = bar();
... # n2 lines
print $foo;
}
Scope of $foo: n1 + n2 + 3 lines
{
... # n1 lines
my $foo = bar();
... # n2 lines
print $foo;
}
Scope of $foo: n2 + 2 lines.

Erm. I suppose I'm contradicting myself, then.
I mean to say that I'm not using globals if I can avoid it -- but I do declare variables at the beginning of the subroutines. So the first style you presented is a lot closer to how I write code.
