> "Classes are just packages" pre-supposes a class-based paradigm.

so your definition of "Delegation" goes into the direction of the traditional JS model where objects "beget"° other objects?

While this is certainly very important, I'd rather prefer a general book listing usual patterns for dynamic languages.

It's very hard to discuss OO when the terminology is dominated by GoF book concepts from the static typing world.

    By "delegation", I mean like handles in Moose/Moo.

      Hmm ... for me this looks rather like forwarding and not delegation.

      You'll really have problems writing a language agnostic book.

        I never claimed it would be language-agnostic. It's a Modern Perl OO book. I just hope that it can teach principles that they can apply when programming in other languages too.
