I'd like to leave them with a taste of things to come without losing them.

Perhaps you shouldn't use perl to explain it at all.

Ask them to create a Person. Ask for typical characteristics of a person. Let them have some fun with it. Write the answers on the board.

Ask for actions most people do. Write those on the board. Now turn to the class one more time and ask for two volunteers. We'll pick Mary and Bob. Tell Bob he is a person (even if you're not sure). Write "Bob is a Person" on the board. Do the same for Mary.

You could mention that Person is an object. Feel your audience out and introduce OO terminology accordingly. Leave them with the excitement of explaining the world as objects containing objects containing objects containing objects . . .

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
