in reply to What did you have to Unlearn

I had to unlearn OO. I've been programming Perl for more than half a dozen years, and I still get upset than Perl only allows for one instance variable per object, degenerating OO to the horror Perl calls OO.

Almost anything else in Perl came from something familiar to me, most notably C, sh, awk, and sed.
