Don't bother trying to force Perls OO into a Java style framework. Its not a good idea. You lose the flexibility of Perls OO model for what gain?

Don't you see the contradiction in this? The complaint that Perl's OO is so bare bones that you have to do everything yourself is often parried with "but that makes it so flexible". After that, everyone turns around and implements objects using hashrefs, throwing decades of programming sense (scopes, namespaces) out of the window. And if someone tries to program OO in a different way, he/she is frowned upon Restricting yourself isn't always a bad idea - if it was, noone would use strict.

What's the benefit of flexibility if you're not supposed to be flexible?
