use the my keyword. 
use strict;
use warnings;

my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) =
                                                localtime(time);
# or 
our ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) =
                                                localtime(time);

Note that my is lexical and declarative like a variable declaration in C. There is also our which is used for allowing access to a dynamic variable within a scope without rasing strict/warnings. The statement is scoped but not declarative (the variable exists regardless, but strict will complain anyway.)

Also it looks like you have picked up some sloppy habits, like not quoting things that should be quoted. These will bite you under strict. But pain is good. Especially when you make it go away. ;-)
