I actually find OO in Perl much easier. I don't do a whole lot of OO programming, but when it is useful I would not have it any other way - mainly because I am not restricted in virtually any way.

As it has been said, Perl OO programming (as does any) requires a lot of practice and refining. Regarding books, Conway's book on OO Perl is not only the best book I've seen on the subject, but the coverage of Perl topics (closures, globs, etc) is by far the best I've seen in any book. It is worth getting even if you have no intention to ever writing OO Perl.

• 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).
