    Because objects/classes had been an afterthought in PHP just like they were in Perl. PHP added some syntactic sugar out-of-the-box and at the same time restricted the object system quite a bit more than the Perl's "we provide the hooks, polish and use them as you wish" way, but neither was designed to please the OO purists.
