__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);
