There are many object models out there, or used to be.

Semantics count and the will to blend it into Perl 4.

NB: Python has no packages.

I already explained my interpretation of compromises he did for more flexibility.

BUT I have to admit that I struggled a lot with Perlootut before reading Damian's book....

There is a saying that emacs is not an IDE but an IDE construction set.

The same seems to apply to Perl and OOP.

You can mimic most of the syntactic sugar of Python, though I'd rather try copying Ruby.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
