> (and tie is an annoying hack)

Isn't it ironic that your so in favour of OOP and in the same time reject tie, which is essentially nothing more than a pimped up bless?

It's reliable, you can hide it behind syntactic sugar, BUT it's as slow as the rest of Perl OO.

But hey, wait! Didn't you just explain that slowness doesn't matter ...??? ; )

Cheers Rolf

PS: Thx for the insights in Ruby, I agree about some syntactic annoyances in Perl 5, and I'd really love to have Perl 6 syntax right now mapped on Perl 5 semantics and interpreter... sigh! : (
