Expanding a bit on gellyfish's answer, this is what I would do: 

use strict;
use warnings;

my ( $ss, $min, $hh, $dd, $mm, $yyyy ) = ( localtime )[ 0..5 ];
$mm   += 1;
$yyyy += 1900;
$ss    = sprintf( '%02d', $ss );
$min   = sprintf( '%02d', $min );
$hh    = sprintf( '%02d', $hh );
$dd    = sprintf( '%02d', $dd );
$mm    = sprintf( '%02d', $mm );
# or more succinctly with map:
# ( $ss, $min, $hh, $dd, $mm ) =
#   map sprintf( '%02d', $_ ), $ss, $min, $hh, $dd, $mm;
print "$ss $min $hh $dd $mm $yyyy\n";
__END__

If the only thing you intend to do with all these variables is stick them in a string, you can achieve the same effect more simply using POSIX::strftime (as gellyfish suggested): 
use POSIX;
my $time_string = strftime '%S %M %H %d %m %Y', ( localtime )[ 0..5 ];
print "$time_string\n";
