> but also go by the Python convention to have a constructor sub called Point()

to elaborate further

this:

class Point: def __init__(self, x, y): self.x = x self.y = y def inverted(self): return Point(self.y,self.x)

could be translated to

class Point; sub INIT($X,$Y) { $$x = $X; $$y = $Y; # or $self->{y} = $Y; } sub inverted { return Point($$y,$$x) # or Point->new($$y,$$x) # or Point->new($self->{y},$self->{x}) # or Point($self->{y},$self->{x}) # ... TIMTOWTDI }

People comming from Python would instantly feel at home and little by little discover more elaborated possibilities by using :attributes.

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.
