I concur with earlier replies that OO is preferred when you (i) anticipate your code with be reused, (ii) when the code will be used as part of a team development effort, or (iii) distributed in module form.

It is also worth mentioning that, it is a good skill set to acquire if only to improve your familiarity with and ease of use of techniques used by CPAN modules. For many (if not most) Perl programmers, the ability to make ready use of the CPAN is half their value as a Perl programmer.

In general, I think everyone who uses Perl more than casually should take the time to create a module, if only a "Hello World", for the valuable experience it provides.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
