Operator Types
Explore the different operator types in Perl, such as numeric, string, logical, bitwise, and special operators. Understand how each imposes a specific context on operands and how to use them effectively in various coding scenarios for more precise and maintainable Perl programs.

Numeric operators
Numeric operators impose numeric contexts on their operands. These operators are the standard arithmetic operators of addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), exponentiation (**), and modulo (%), their in-place variants (+=, -=, ...
