about OO programing in perl

Thargor has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Ok I have just started learning perl and want to learn how to do OO programing in perl. If anyone knows of a good tutorial about OO that is very simplistic so that I could just enter it into my computer and play around with it could you please point me in that direction. Or could someone give me a very small program that does virtually nothing but prints out a variable from a class call so I can get the hang of using classes, objects and methods in perl. Thanks

I second this. The Conway book just rocks. I kinda-sorta understood OO Perl a little before I read it, but thanks to this book, my understanding is now rock-solid.	[reply]

Have a look at the documentation that comes with perl (perldoc). For instance, some of these should get you on the right track: perlobj perlboot perltoot perltooc perlbot (not necessarily in that order perhaps) -enlil	[reply]

In addition to all the links you have received, also look at the Object Oriented part of our very own Tutorials.	[reply]

Hi, Perl comes with a few: `perldoc perlboot perldoc perltoot perldoc perltooc perldoc perlbot` [download] Run each of these from the comandline to view the documents. Ted Young `($$<<$$=>$$<=>$$<=$$>>$$) always returns 1. :-)`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

In case no one has mentioned it yet, there is some information in the perldoc.	[reply]

You should have followed data64's suggestion before starting to ask this question.	[reply]
