note feloniousMonk my 2 cents - I can't say I've ever written any OO Perl. Never, and I've done quite a bit of Perl programming. Using an OO interface to a module, yes I've dont that. But for my style of programming and problems I tackle with Perl, OO doesn't seem to fit well. But I've written my share of OO code in C++ and Java - which when the problem fit an OO solution well then team programming sent very smoothly. Lots of design work and typical design tweakage along the way :-) but overall, depending on the problem, my experience with OO based projects is very positive. -felonious-- 194707 194707
