Re: Object Oriented Perl - very basic guide

I appreciate this. I too am just(finally) diving into the OO stuff. Have been going right for Moo and Dancer and Moose, but am also faced with a contract job which is heavily OO and does not use any of the new frameworks. Needless to say, it is stretching my troubleshooting abilities beyond tolerable limits.(I am very fortunate to have a very understanding employer who is willing to let me learn!)

That is why I find a posting like this helpful. If nothing else, it provides yet another resource for learning. Thanks for this!

I do want to clarify one thing: you say The reason that's useful, is because if I write a module for you to use - then all you need to know is how to run the internal code, and don't have to worry about what goes on inside. That confused me a bit. I assume that you mean that I only need to know what my internal code is doing, as compared to the internal code of the module you provided. As in, I only need to know what you provide as methods/accessors. Is that correct?

Thanks again!

Very true, and good point...and yes I use these also! :-) There is to me value in this meditation because it is not just about the "what to learn", but also about the "how it get learned". I get a lot out of that... Thanks for the handy list of URL's! ...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...
