Why do you expect $_ to contain anything in particular at this point?
You've not assigned anything to it in this sub. $_ is a completely
separate variable from @_; they're utterly unrelated.
The arguments to a sub appear in @_.
Perhaps the point of confusion is that accessing a particular argument in
@_ uses the syntax $_[0]? But $_[0] is completely separate from $_.
Scalar variables and array variables are in separate namespaces in Perl,
just like struct tags and variable names are in separate namespaces in C.
