Welcome to the monastery Smonff and to the wonderful world of perl!

Thanks to show Zydeco (new to me) and as all software by our respected brother tobyink it deserve a close look. I'm curious to see your journey and maybe it will be mine too.

If you are not familiar with perl OO pro and cons I invite you to take a tour in my little bibliotheca.

In Perl you can easily do many things without objects and it mainly depends on your forma mentis: I often end with complex data structures (hash of hashes typically) without any need to built an object. Perl lets the programmer free to code the way they like.

In perl we basically only have bless that simply binds a reference to a datastructure to a particular class, well package. Ontop of this is up to you, or to the module author, to develop an object or an object framework.

Sometimes Java is considered as too much object bound: see execution in kigdom of nouns but as I only know Perl I'm not the right people to do a comparison or to emit judgements.

Thanks for sharing your journey!
