This is perl's way of giving a position within a data file. A "chunk" is a
portion of input read; if $/ eq "\n", a "chunk" is a line.

It tells MacPerl where the perl code starts. If such a line exists in the file,
all lines before it are discarded. If no such line exists, the input file is
actually read twice.

Also, you can put flags like -w on that line.
