They are very fundamental in how perl operates.
You can find their definition in any tutorial on perl.

$_ is the "default" variable for many, many built-in functions and
control structures (print, foreach, stat, chomp, =~, grep, map, to name
a few).

@_ is the array that contains the arguments passed to the current
subroutine.

Read more about them in
perldoc perlvar
and
perldoc perlsub
