First of all what are they called? Secondly can I get a link to a place that explains what each one of 'em is used for?
The only one I'm familiar with is =for comment to start a multiline Perl comment and =cut to end the comment.

Also, I used to only know about the token __END__ until I started to learn how to use the token __DATA__ I'd appreciate it if you can introduce me to some other tokens.

It's called POD, Plain Old Documentation. See http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html .
