Oh, it also seems I was editing my post while you were replying. Don't forget to check the update above.

EDIT: To make it local, you declare it in the scope you want to use it. To make it private, add the "my" identifier.

sub whatever {
my $localvariable = 0;

$localvariable = 25;
}

Using it that way makes a variable available to only this sub. Looking at what you are doing above, you do not want a local variable.
