First thing I would do is read further. Althought eh first book Ir ead on the subject (Other than Advanced Perl Programming) was "Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules" by our own merlyn, it wasn't until I spent the time reading "Object Oriented Perl" by thedamian that it finally all started to make sense. Unfortnuately I don't think it is possible to do justice to OOPerl in the 30 pages it gets in "Advanced Perl Programming" despite Simon's valiant attempt.

I have been using OO Perl for a little over two years now and my 'hero' application of about 250,000 lines of Perl code is about 60% OOP, all of it running with Perl/Tk. As time permits older code is being re-factored into objects and modules. Life is so much easier with OOP. Feature requests that used to leave me living in fear and dread are now a snap!
