Yes, though I'm not sure you could call Ruby's types "strong" either; it doesn't really have types in a such a defined sense (objects have classes, but that's not a "type" as such).
I'm not qualified to comment on perl either.
Which really highlights that strong/weak is not a binary thing. There's not even a sliding scale, but instead, simply different properties. For example, Javascript will happily let you compare "0" with 0. C won't let you do that, but it will let you treat an integer as a pointer and vice versa. Bob
