All excellent points, except that perl does use garbage collection for memory management, so that Perl is effectively a garbage-collected language. perl uses a refcount-based scheme; perlobj talks about the two-phase garbage collection scheme.
I am guessing that you know this already. Perhaps it doesn't fit your definition of GC?
