about OO programing in perl

[Thargor]

Ok I have just started learning perl and want to learn how to do OO programing in perl. If anyone knows of a good tutorial about OO that is very simplistic so that I could just enter it into my computer and play around with it could you please point me in that direction. Or could someone give me a very small program that does virtually nothing but prints out a variable from a class call so I can get the hang of using classes, objects and methods in perl. Thanks

Here is a fine book about OO and perl Object Oriented Perl.

I second this. The Conway book just rocks. I kinda-sorta understood OO Perl a little before I read it, but thanks to this book, my understanding is now rock-solid.

Have a look at the documentation that comes with perl (perldoc). For instance, some of these should get you on the right track:
perlobj
perlboot
perltoot
perltooc
perlbot


(not necessarily in that order perhaps)

In addition to all of the fine documentation you've been pointed at, see Chapter 11 of http://learn.perl.org/library/beginning_perl

I like Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules co authored by Merlyn.

In addition to all the links you have received, also look at the Object Oriented part of our very own Tutorials.

Hi, Perl comes with a few:

perldoc perlboot
perldoc perltoot
perldoc perltooc
perldoc perlbot

Run each of these from the comandline to view the documents.

In case no one has mentioned it yet, there is some information in the perldoc.

You should have followed data64's suggestion before starting to ask this question.
