Okay, but the post you were replying never compared Java and Perl in the OO sense. The guy or the gal was simply mentioning that there was a post on this forum before, which claimed Perl is more OO, and he/she thought that was a very typical example of advocacy, and a very hot-headed one.

You have agreed that Perl is not that OO, which is great.

But you simply assumed that the post was saying "Java is more OO then Perl", doesn't matter whether that was true, that was never mentioned.

Let's not to be so nervous about Perl's position, and believe that it is in a good shape. Although I personally believe that Perl is losing its attraction (which is normal with anything that has this much history), and Perl 6 is not going to help.
