That's a good question. I'm not the one with the itch this won't scratch. Maybe that's the problem. People don't know what they want. The most I ever learned about Perl was when I decided to tackle OOP many moons ago. It pulls in a large number of existing, very powerful features that worked beautifully together. As a result, I not only learned how to put them together, I had those constituent parts at my disposal as well (closures over subs for RO, e.g.). If more people took the time to learn the MEAT, they wouldn't be asking for the sugar. Let's bring classic oop back. Surely Damian would like to sell some more books circa 2000. It's all I ever needed.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
