tie does have something to do with OO, but in a far more abstract sense. In OO, polymorphism allows you to treat different things with perhaps wildely different implementations as if they were the same. tie lets you treat these different things as if they were just another variable. In a way, it's the best object system ever. However, it is also a rather limited object system (and slow, but that doesn't matter from a purely-theoretical point of view).

The tutorial you point to is speaking of Perl's bless-based object system. It's a very flexible system, but it's not the only object system Perl has, and may not even be the best one. It is, however, the most widely-used of Perl's object systems (tie is probably a distant second). Some of these systems might build on bless, and others may use something completely different.

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.
