Yes, but at least perl's magic variables have pseudo-english translations
that are easily remembered:

$_      $ARG
@_      (no mnemonic)
$|      $OUTPUT_AUTOFLUSH
$%      $FORMAT_PAGE_NUMBER
$=      $FORMAT_LINES_PER_PAGE
$-      $FORMAT_LINES_LEFT
$~      $FORMAT_NAME
$/      $RS || $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR
$+      $LAST_PAREN_MATCH
$*      $MULTILINE_MATCHING

All these and many more are available for your reading pleasure in the perlvar
man page :)
