I would consider conversion of "1" to 1 as different from
weak typing.  Weak typing can take "1" and treat it as
a number, but it won't likely be 1.  If it is, that's 
a coincidence.  Perl is simply doing implicitely what
other languages (even some strongly typed languages
like Pascal) can do explicitely.

There are others.
