>>if you compare it to another programming language simply as a language Perl is extensible by design. Your "point" of refusing to accept that is just strange. If you can't handle it, use something else. >>good software development practice As __david__ noted, you're just strange here. Variables really should be declared, as I noted before, just because of spelling problems. That is good software practice. Edit: I might be missing the point re "strict", but you can't explain it to either __david__ or chromatic, either. :-) And it seems your "point" about downloadable extensions is that you don't have anything to complain about without that arbitrary limitation.
