Idiom #220 Create a tuple value

Create t consisting of 3 values having different types.

Explain if the elements of t are strongly typed or not.

use constant t => (1, 'two', 3.5);

This satisfizes the definition of a tuple in that it is fixed length and immutable; however, it probably doesn't provide the speed advantages that a tuple enjoys in other 'strongly typed' languages.
my $tuple = [1, 'Hello World', {foo => 1}];

Because of Perls dynamic typing nature, a Tuple is just an Array.
var t = (2.5f, "foo", true);

Resulting tuple is strongly typed as a System.ValueTuple<float, string, bool>
let t = 1, 'a', "b"

in OCaml, parenthesis for tuples are optional and only used to disambiguate.
Type inference can determine the type of the tuple without annotation.
