When a value is created or updated, the type of value is created or changed. This is understandable. However, in current Perl, only touching a value changes the type of the value. This is strange. This reason is that the type of value is used internally and the type is changed freely. Is it possible to design the user type that is not affected by touching? I think it's important that the types of the number and string don't change unintentionally.Thread Previous | Thread Next
