in thread Object Orientation is:

Perl OO -- while not instantaneous-- is a great way to learn how OO actually works because all of the internals are exposed.

I couldn't agree more. I learned OO with Perl, and I find that it gave me a unique perspective on the meaning and purpose of inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation. Because it's so out in the open, it's less magical and more understandable.
