So Perl is statically typed?

    I confused Static vs Dynamic typing with Weak vs Strong typing in my earlier post.

    To answer your question, some elements of Perl are statically typed, and some elements of Perl are dynamically typed.

    The question "Is X strongly typed?" is the invalid one. This post by Dominus includes "eight different and incompatible definitions of 'strongly typed language'" he found.

      Wow. OK, thanks for the links. I guess it becomes very hard to discuss anything on this thread if we don't even actually have an agreed-upon definition for strong/weak/static/dynamic typing...
