Yes.
I very much doubt Perl is going to become significantly more statically
analyzable in general. Though static determinacy is obviously a
desirable thing, there are plenty of other B&D languages that offer it
in abundance. And the dynamic power that Perl would have to lose would not
compensate for the static benefits gained.
