What?? My life just got so much easier! ;) But seriously, if I'm confused about this maybe you can clear it up. Is Perl statically typed, dynamically typed, or some crazy other thing that I don't know about? Perl does "support arrays and hashes", but I was always under the impression that this was a run-time check on tagged values (dynamic) rather than a compile-time check on untagged values (static). Are we saying that Perl is statically typed, where the types are scalar, hash, and array? If it's truly dynamically typed, how can these distinctions arise? Thanks for your help. ~dewey
