This article refers peripherally to Perl, and the article itself is not contained in the root node. Instead, the pages 1 to 6 are located here: 1 2 3 4 5 and 6. There doesn't appear to be a link for the article on a single page.

The single example of Perl objects occurs on page 3, where two identical unrelated objects are created. As far as demonstrating features, there's no inheritance, there are no object methods, and AUTOLOAD isn't mentioned. In fact, the pieces of Perl OO code doen't even go as far as the C# examples go.

Therefore, I'd rate this article low on the 'demystifying' scale.
