__DESCRIPTION__ $_ is the default variable, used when you are too lazy to create one of your own and like clean looking code. __EXAMPLE__ foreach (1..5) { print "$_\n"; } Is the same as: foreach $_ (1..5) { print "$_\n"; } __FURTHER EXAMPLE__ Which incidentally is the same as these two: print "$_\n" foreach (1..5); print "$_\n" for (1..5); --- I love Perl...
