Over the past almost 2 years here, I've picked up the following general guidelines for naming: 
 $singular_noun            # scalar

 @plural_noun              # array

 $singular_noun{specific}  # hash, element

 sub verb{ ... }           # subroutine

Having recently learned of loop LABELS:*, I'd welcome your thoughts on logical and/or reasonable naming approaches for such.   Here's a snippet to give some of context: 
my $pb    = HTML::TokeParser->new(\$content);
my $regex = '^\d+$';
LABEL: while($pb->get_tag('b', '/b')){
  my $tb = $pb->get_text();
  $foo = $tb;
  last LABEL if $tb =~ /$regex/;
}
