Similar thing with Perl. Perl scalars can be numbers or strings, 
depending on the context. Sometimes you have to force them to be one or 
the other; e.g. adding 0 to a scalar makes it more number-like; 
appending an empty string "" makes it more string-like. But generally it 
behaves in a sensible way.

Comparing a string to an integer is a typical gotcha for us ex-Perlers.
