I just learned at least the basics of perl OO, and my God. What elegance.
I very strongly disagree. I think Perl's OO system is a stinking pile of menure. It's so bad, that for a while people thought they needed pseudo-hashes to fix things. Who can take an OO system with no native support for object instance variables (attributes), and leaving it to the programmer to code (causing all kinds of incompatible and bad implementations, forcing you to break encapsulation 100 times out of 99).

Oh, well, everyone his/her opinion. I guess there are people that call BASIC and COBOL elegant as well.
