    Perhaps, but you see it everywhere, including the Blue Camel, perltoot, and perlobj. I don't think you can blame people for using it if it shows up without comment in the primary sources of Perl documentation.

      Right. All the sources you cite are from One Guy who was not doing OO programming in 1980 (as I was). That's why I am working hard to correct the meme, stamping on it a bit whenever I see it quoted again, and why I wrote perlboot to also go into the distro as a better example.
