All this tells me one thing: Perl does not support abstract method natively, and that's why you are introducing this junky.

Well, it does not, really. So what? I'm not addicted to OOP and I don't believe it is the solution for everything. Said so, I really don't care if Perl is not 100% OO.

But I still like to code with Perl and I think that the OO implementation is good enough for my needs (well, almost). Is it wrong to try to make things better? I would be pleased to see some better proposal from you (whoever you are anyway, you didn't even bother to identify yourself) instead of some useless procrastination.

Perl 5.8.8 does not have any feature that helps in this case? Thanks for telling me that, because that is the version I'm using.
