I'm going to repeat myself, why are people upvoting this? It's an LLM generated book, and not even decent. It's pages and pages of code listings with little or no explanations. It's also wrong at various points.

Perl is weakly typed, for instance, not strongly typed no matter what Claude tells you. Try "1" + 1 and ask yourself if that result makes any sense in a strongly typed language.
