You may be better off using a hash for your code:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $processed_log = $ARGV[ 0 ];

# Now that we have the logs, let's give a breakdown of BIND/UNBINDS
# per hour. To start, I'll make it easy and just do them on an hourly
# basis (eg. 09:00-09:59, 10:00-10:59, etc...)

open PROCESSED_LOG, '<', $processed_log or die "Cannot open $processed
+_log: $!\n";

print"BINDS  UNBINDS\n";

my %data;
while ( <PROCESSED_LOG> ) {
    if ( /(\d\d):\d\d:\d\d.+?(UNBIND|BIND)/ ) {
        $data{ $1 }{ $2 }++;
        }
    }

for my $hour ( sort keys %data ) {
    printf "Hour %s has %5d BINDS and %5d UNBINDS  TOTAL=%-6d\n", $hou
+r, @{ $data{ $hour } }{ qw/BIND UNBIND/ }, $data{ $hour }{ BIND } + $
+data{ $hour }{ UNBIND };
    }

If you wanted to do it in five minute intervals then:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $processed_log = $ARGV[ 0 ];

my $minute_interval = 5; # or use command line or getopts()

# Now that we have the logs, let's give a breakdown of BIND/UNBINDS
# per hour. To start, I'll make it easy and just do them on an hourly
# basis (eg. 09:00-09:59, 10:00-10:59, etc...)

open PROCESSED_LOG, '<', $processed_log or die "Cannot open $processed
+_log: $!\n";

print"BINDS  UNBINDS\n";

my %data;
while ( <PROCESSED_LOG> ) {
    if ( /(\d\d):(\d\d):\d\d.+?(UNBIND|BIND)/ ) {
        my $time = sprintf '%02d:%02d', $1, int( $2 / $minute_interval
+ ) * $minute_interval;
        $data{ $time }{ $3 }++;
        }
    }

for my $hour ( sort keys %data ) {
    printf "Hour %s has %5d BINDS and %5d UNBINDS  TOTAL=%-6d\n", $hou
+r, @{ $data{ $hour } }{ qw/BIND UNBIND/ }, $data{ $hour }{ BIND } + $
+data{ $hour }{ UNBIND };
    }
