in reply to new Class:: module to declare classes in Perl in the popular way: class foo extends bar { sub x($var){..} }

First of all to those Java folks, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH OUR OO WAYS... It's not ugly, OK?? :)))))
I believe you made a very good job. The "P" of Perl stands for Practical. And "practicality" is a relative term, especially in the programming realm.
If Java programmers want or need perl, but don't like the interface, if they think it is not "practical", someone like gmpnassos will come up, and make Perl "practical" for them. Perl, by nature, lets anyone to do that!
And for the name... Hmmmmmm, actually, I can't even name my own subroutines. Here's one,though: Class::JavaStyle


Good Luck, work on it more, and make Perl proud :))))

    Thanks, but JavaStyle? Please, keep out of the name Java! ehehehe

    The declaration style for class that I have implemented in Perl is far way from Java resources.

    I use Java and create development resources for it, but this doesn't means that I like it. Java is good as a language concept for OO, but in terms of be Pratical... Well, we have Perl, why think about this! ;-P
