I have this marketing detector. The word "truly" trips it every time.

Perl's OO syntax was addeded rather later than most of its other features. Sometims this shows. There's a loose default recommendation for how to "do" OO in Perl, but it's certainly not indisputable and some people indeed write OO Perl and avoid the regular object system. As always with Perl, there's more than one way to do it, and that doesn't mean you can't do it.

Tell us what you want to do more specifically.
