Relation between the :version command showing +perl/dyn and "echo has ("perl") returning 1.

Hi,

Vim newbie here.

Please let me know the relation between the :version command showing +perl/dyn and "echo has ("perl") returning 1.

I am using gVim7.4 (downloaded from www.vim.org) on Windows 7.

I had earlier installed Strawberry Perl version 5.16.3 (32 Bit) and at that time, for "echo has ("perl").would return 0.

Recently removed that version of Perl and installed DWIM Perl Version 5.14.2.1 (32 Bit).

Now vim returns "1" for "echo has ("perl").

What does this mean? Will this enable me to do something that I was not doing earlier.

When I googled a bit, now I understand that I can run "%perldo s/this/that/gi". But apart from this, what are the advantages that I have now?

Kindly let me know.
