A guide to pronounciation, mirror
The jargon file has an entry as well.

For the record I use

In my BASIC days chr$ was "chr bucks"

For perl I tend to stick to English punctuation names

('$'=>'dollar',
 '@'=>'array'||'ary',
 '%'=>'hash'||'percent',
 '#'=>'hash',
 '!'=>'bang',
 '#!'=>'shebang',
 '&'=>'ampersand',
 '*'=>'star',
 '/'=>'slash',
 '\\'=>'back-slash',
 "'"=>'tick',
 '`'=>'back-tick',
 '"'=>'quote"||'quot', #not usually pronounced
 '~'=>'tilde',         #long E
 '?'=>'question mark,  #hook is cooler but it never occurs to me
 '|'=>'pipe',
 '['=>'left bracket',  #These rarely need
 ']'=>'right bracket',#to be pronounced
 '{'=>'left curly(?: brace)',
 '}'=>'right curly(?: brace)',
 '<'=>'less than'||'waka',
 '>'=>'greater than'||'waka',
 ...  #dot dot dot, in this case however yadda yadda yadda
);

I read $_[1] as "array underscore sub 1" or worst case simply "at underscore 1".

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
