No, since Perl is not a strongly typed language! :)

Hey, watch that. Larry has said that Perl can either be considered a very weakly typed language or an extremely strongly typed language with only a few datatypes: scalars, arrays, hashes, and filehandles. I tend to lean towards the latter, but both are accurate, but it's not accurate to say only the first.
