Re: uh oh .. it's OO by btrott (Parson) on Jun 29, 2000 at 23:10 UTC
You need to make a distinction between using object-oriented modules--that other people have written--and writing OO code yourself. There's a huge distinction, and if you're just going to be using LWP, you don't need to be an expert OO programmer. That said, I have a tutorial, Perl Object Oriented Meta-Tutorial, on where to look to get a start in OO programming in Perl. It's not complete, probably, but it's a start. One of the first links there, actually, is this: Easy Perl5 Object Intro. It expands on what I wrote above: you don't need to be an OO programmer to use objects.	[reply]

"Object Oriented Perl" is a great book, but if you want to do things on the cheap, read `perldoc perltoot` and (in Perl 5.6) `perldoc perlroot`. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> European Perl Conference - Sept 22/24 2000 <http://www.yapc.org/Europe/>	[reply]

Not `perldoc perlroot` but `perldoc perlboot`. It's also in the CPAN at perlboot. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]

Wasn't it orignally called perlroot? Or have I gone completely mad? -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> European Perl Conference - Sept 22/24 2000 <http://www.yapc.org/Europe/>	[reply]

You may want to try this book. I heard so many good things about it from colleagues that I had to get a copy for myself. The beauty of this book is that it doesn't really center around the programming languages used, but rather the 'paradigm shift' in the way of thinking to provide a solution to a problem. It hasn't disappointed me yet.... `Object-Oriented Software Construction By Bertrand Meyer` [download] I think you can find it at: http://fatbrain.com	[reply] [d/l]
