Perl's memory management really has little to do with it be typeless, look at Java it is strongly typed and uses garbage collection. And having the coder be responsible for memory management is ripe with issues. Once the code gets to a certain level of complexity it can be very difficult to trace the source of a memory leak. Perl you really only have to worry about a few gotchas. It really is a better system if you are not as concerned about the overhead, which in modern PC hardware should not be a concern for most applications. Now if you are coding on micro-controllers that is a different story and C is good for that if you do not care to be bother with Assembly.
