You will want to read the `perlboot` and `perltoot` man pages for more information on perl object oriented programming. They should have come with your installation of perl, if not then you can find them here http://perldoc.perl.org/index-tutorials.html. Another good source of information on object oriented perl is the book Object Oriented Perl by Damian Conway. For the modules that do graphics, there are quite a few. The most common two are GD and Image::Magick.	[reply]

Conways's book mentioned already is great, but for a simple first introduction, Randal Schwartz's book "Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules" (O'Reilly) is very nice! I read the whole book over a weekend for review and learned a lot. chas	[reply]

His uses of Mister Ed and Gillians Island kind of scared me. Not that I thought they were bad examples. It scared me because I actually knew what he was talking about and had watched those shows as a kid. It made me realize how old I am getting...	[reply]

You think you're getting old? The fact that these were the first examples that came to me let me know just how old I was, as well. {grin} -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]

my script are still stuck in the days of non-object oriented perl programming This is not necessarily a bad thing. Regardless, Damian Conway's book on Object Oriented Perl is extremely useful - even for non-oo features of Perl since you have to understand a few advanced topics to appreciate how Perl achieves oo-ness.

Your OO perl question as been addressed....go ye and read merlyn's book. I thought I would try and shed some light on your postscript concering graphics in perl. As far as I know there is not a graphics library written entirely in perl, but rather a few modules that are built on top of other libraries. For the 2D side of things, take a look at the GD bundle of modules and the various modules built on top of them. If you are feeling a bit more adventurous and want to dive into the 3D side of things, try reading Geoff Broadwell's articles over at perl.com (1, 2, 3). He leverages SDL::App and SDL::OpenGL. A bit terse...but to the point I hope.	[reply]
