dynamic in the sense of not exploding at compile-time.
i.e.: "smart enough to understand by itself where to go look for things(symbol table) before exploding at run-time" :P
I wouldn't call this linking, but I'm no C expert.
No, it is not. I was just referring to how different languages approach the "not still defined token/name" case, I wasn't suggesting Perl "linking" something during/after compilation. I was trying to break the supposed link between been able to call something not yet defined and dynamicity, because the word "dynamic" is so abused is CS literature and on the WWW, that I always have to ask further for disambiguate.
