well, not yet:
JS-Console
>>> true
true
>>> "stringification: " + (1==1)
"stringification: true"
use v5.10.0;
use boolean;
say true;
say "stringification:" . (1==1);
output:
/usr/bin/perl -w /tmp/boolean.pl
1
stringification:1
but using dualvars could help.
UPDATE:
kind of
use Scalar::Util qw/dualvar/;
my $false = dualvar 0, "false";
my $true = dualvar 1, "true";
say $true;
say "stringification:" . $true;
say "numification: " . (0+$true);
say $false;
say "stringification: " . $false;
say "numification: " . (0+$false);

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).
