They are used to tell Perl to stop compiling the script at that point,
because whatever follows is either:

a) data to be read in to the script using the special DATA filehandle (see
perldoc perldata)

b) code that should be compiled only on demand (see perldoc SelfLoader)

I would guess the latter is probably rarely used in this day of speedy
processors and systems.
