Re^2: What is true and false in Perl?

"0" is not boolean, and neither is "",

Noone said they are. It was said they are false.

Providing such a 'feature' comes with a very significant readability and maintainability cost that is simply not justified.

That's odd. Perl, Python, PHP, C, C++, JavaScript, VB and the 5 or 6 CPU I know work that way. The only language I know that doesn't is Java.
