What is the dominant style enabled by the language constructs I dare you to try and apply that to Perl... Or any other of your points, really :)

Perl? Good challenge! It's a somewhat like assembly language in the sense that you can hack pretty much any paradigm you want together, but in the common usage that I have seen (scripting) it's used mostly as an imperative / procedural language.

Well, oop is also pretty common. In a perly way of course. And, functional too, although uncommon. perl is just perl, no sense in trying to make sense out of it :)

JavaScript is slightly more functional then Java because it at least has closures and first class functions. But your right, JavaScript is just as functional as C# is.
