in thread How do I go from procedural to object oriented programming?

Eschew new technology so that you may cling to the past. That is not wise. http://perldancer.org There. Problem solved. :D

What does that have to do with the bloat that is Moose?

The future runs on old technology, upgrades aren't free, pretending constraints don't exist is boring

    Anonymous Monk, my only constraints are Perl 5.8.8*, current versions of modules which still work with 5.8.8., and my own understanding of perl and programming in general. My goals for the present of still the same as you see on my home node and the list of things I need to get a grip on on my scratchpad.

    * I have begged my web host and cPanel to use a newer version of Perl to no avail. Even 5.10 would be a big improvement. I loathe having to work under 5.8.8.

    No matter how hysterical I get, my problems are not time sensitive. So, relax, have a cookie, and a very nice day!

    Perhaps YOUR future runs on old technology, but my future is so bright that I gotta wear shades.

    Your attitude works well against Perl, by the way. In case you didn't notice those antiquated (and most likely monolithic) CGI scripts are being replaced around the globe with technologies based on Java, Python, Ruby and C#. What you suggest would further cause Perl to lose market share.

    How you like them constraints?

      Perhaps YOUR ...Your attitude ...How you like them constraints?

      So you're going to donate lady_Alena new hosting so she can enjoy newer than perl 5.8.8 and moose and Dancer and whatever else she wants? You're going to do that?

        Seems to me that she could have hosted all of this in a blog. What is your problem by the way? Are you allergic to good advice and best practices?
