in reply to It all comes down to one thing - whether it gets the job done

Graham Barr did a great job to create the Perl LDAP library. It is easy to use, easy to understand and it is OO.
You are aware of the unit "milliBarr", aren't you? It's the unit (coined by the #perl IRC channel) that measures bad OO practices.

    I'll take the blame for creating both milliBarr and its cousin milliGraham. I spoke those only in jest, and anyone taking them seriously should not themselves be taken seriously. Seriously.
