Just because the language lets you to relax doesn't mean you shouldn't apply strict validation of all data being worked on :) I don't care about it in a two line cron job but more critical components spend a lot of time on data validation - I am pretty much working in paranoid mode.
If you use Moose you can automatically apply data type checking.
