I see perl as a language. It could even be called like this...

perl -RTFM myscript.pl

And the compiler could suppose everything that is not stated or that is badly declared.

But in the end, it is like people that use to say everything with only 100 words. (x.e.politicians, astrollogers, prophets,etc.). Everybody gets the illusion that they are saying what they want to hear. The level of effective comunication, is lowered at it's minimum.

So, on the other hand, it may happen that one day I am speaking the truth about something, and everybody yet want's to punish me.

There are times when precission is imperative.

I believe that the level of effectiveness of a programming language resides in the limitations that the compiler imposses to the user. Yet, perl has done miracles in this aspect. So, it forgives a lot if you ignore the key words that gives you the required 'extra' precission.
