Re: New to perl - Check authenticity of cpan mods installed/used

Regarding OOP books, I found that "Object Oriented Perl" by Damian Conway (ISBN 1-884777-79-1) gave me an easily accessible introduction to OO programming, which I had not touched before. The book was written quite some time ago now and things have moved on a bit in the Perl OOP world but the principles are still sound and the style of writing is informative and witty. As textbooks go, very enjoyable!

Cheers,

JohnGG

That book teaches object oriented analysis and design? IIRC it does not. It doesn't even mention crc cards	[reply]

Come on, CRC cards may be a useful software engineering tool used in agile and extreme programming, they are certainly not central to the idea of object-oriented programming. I frankly think that Damian's OOP book is very good, it really explains fairly well what OOP is all about. The only problem is that it is a bit outdated in the sense that it uses the early Perl 5 object-oriented concepts, rather than the more modern implementations offered by frameworks such as Moose, Moo, Mouse, or even Mo, etc. Still, it is a very good introduction to POO concepts.
