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

shell> perldoc perlootut

"...This document was created in February, 2011, and the last major revision was in February, 2013....

I check metacpan...same document. I want to learn the latest techniques for OO in Perl. I remember reading that there were native classes added in 5.38. Is someone updating perlootut? Is is being superseded by another POD?

    Not a tutorial by name, but check perlclass.
    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

    Hmm yes, seems like the preamble of perlootut should better be updated with a reference to perlclass, instead of simply stating that it's very old.
