Beautiful!. This shows that you are making good progress.
Now, use my to make all your variable local to your program file. i.e like so:

my ($SEC,$MIN,$HOUR, $DAY, $MON, $YEAR) = ...; ... my $LOG = ...

You probably want to do perldoc -f my and perldoc strict on your CLI, to read a quick tip.

If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.
