Actually, it's pretty common. Only, most languages are not as forgiving
as perl, and what is merely a warning in Perl, is a fatal error in those
languages. Trying to read the value of an uninitialized variable, for
example, that's commonly a fatal error. Failing to chdir, is another
example.

So even with warnings on by default, Perl is still pretty mild.
