I am really not competent to talk about OO since Object Oriented
programming is not something
I am excited about.
The only language in which I have used it is in Perl. And in CGI I use
it a lot without actually knowing
that I use OO at all.
It does not force one to think much, it is not pedagogical and
abstruse or confusing. It just gets your job done.
So we may have a lot of subjective arguments here. Essentially my
point was that in lower level languages
like C++ and Jave and other OO focused languages OO becomes very
involved and difficult(at least for me).
But in perl it is nice and simple.
But you have to read a lot and the information is scattered in several
different man pages.
$perldoc perlobj
$ perldoc perlboot
$perldoc perltoot
$perldoc perlbot
and so on.
Also
$ perldoc perlmod
In the case of perl object orientation is implemented using the module
and package concept.
We will cover that later.
So all I am saying is that one can have any number of subjective views.
We should end up learning something useful that is all.
I think it will be impossible for me to remove opinion from fact or vice versa.
Please take my tips with a pinch of salt.
I don't think even wikipedia is free from prejudice.
So just live with it. ;)
