subject: Polymorphism ?

Hello Pascal!

Replying to a message of Pascal Schmidt to Neil Heller:

 PS> Hi Neil! :-)

 NH>> Is operator overloading a form of polymorphism?
 PS> Yes.

 NH>> Can the term "polymorphism" be applied equally (and 
 NH>> correctly) to variables, operators and function names?
 PS> Yes, though operators and functions are not really different things,
 PS> and having a polymorphic variable is not possible in any programming
 PS> language that I know of. ;)

Perl.
