Re^2: High level OOP query ( Building Skills Object-Oriented Design Mindset Development )

I also strongly suggest you learn how Moose and Moo work. They bring a sane object system into the Perl land and have some very, very good developers working on them.

Moo/Moose later :)

I think its better to first learn why/when/what/whichway ... and only later deal with mechanics/implementation/how-details like moo/moose/badger...bless

I say Moose/Moo now, because that completely sidesteps the frustrations of having to figure out how to coerce native perl into doing OO. It's got a fairly standard OO syntax that you will be able to translate OO concepts into without too much hassle. Then, you can backtrack and learn how it's done with perl sans Moo(se) and it will make much more sense.

Great point ... so you can write some Moo for OP?

I think first pictures on paper, then Moo
