Basically, you have two loops in a row. In the first loop, each record is assigned to $_. When this loop is finished, $_ does not have any useful value. When you start the second loop, again, each value is assigned to $_.
No problem here, but there are cases, such as nested loops, where is might become slightly dangerous (you might clobber the value of the outer $_ with the value of the inner $_); in the cases of nested loops, while loops and for don't do exactly the same thing, so it is somewhat unreliable and don't do it unless you really know what you're doing. The best, in the event of nested loops, is to use explicit variables rather than the default topical variable $_.
On the questions related to your other project (not anagrams), you don't give enough details on what you need and how it is supposed to work. Please specify.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
