    • Oops is part of a Britney Spears song title
    • Oops is a mistake. See above.
    • OOP is an acronym for Object-Oriented Perl. See perlboot, perlobj
      Just a small correction - "Oops I did it again!" was originally recorded by Louis Armstrong...

        Oh man! the mental image of Louis Armstrong dressed up as a schoolgirl just put me off my lunch ;-)

        /J\

        Just a small correction - you aren't correcting me. :-)

    First off, this is not a site where people will educate you with a baby spoon. If you ask a huge question in a way that shows that you don't have a clue AND you haven't looked very hard, expect to get laughed at. Please understand that we're all here in spite of being very busy and we expect you to respect our time constraints. You must be willing to follow the links given and do your own homework. As has been stated, OOPS is an acronym for Object Oriented Programming Style|Systems, and it is a powerful technique used in many languages including Perl. There are many examples of OOP here and on CPAN, and a quick Google search will give you links to books and articles specifically on OOP and Perl:

    "Oops" is what I usually say, shortly after I run my program.

    My Linux kernel gives me an "Oops" when I'm not there watching it, are you running an unstable version?
