Could someone elaborate on this a bit more?  What is the difference
here?  What makes Perl's typing _not_ dynamic?  I've heard this
statement often in clpy, but do not understand the semantics of the
argument.

However, Perl's typing system is much more flexible (read:
context-sensitive) than Python's.
