in reply to Make Perl an OO language

I much prefer perlboot as an intro to Perl-based OO, since it covers both the fundamentals of Perl OO and OO.

And really, the strength of Perl is CPAN and convenient notation/syntax, not the OO interface. At least until Perl 6, which supposedly will be an all OO language. Then you will get your wish and hopefully OO in Perl will come as easy as the rest of Perl comes today.
