Quite honestly, apart from map { ... } and grep { ... }, which are
sometimes necessary or cleaner than alternatives, I feel that using
$_ is not a good way of achieving neat and maintainable Perl.

Seriously, I hope you're not suggesting that full use of $_ with
localisation is good software engineering practice when programming
in Perl. I really hope you're trolling.
