I draw your attention to charnos and merlyn's points above how even Java has jumped out of the "OO paradigm" to satisfy its own necessities.
I find it fascinating that Guru_2 can write 6 LoC in java once you've done the importing and class declaration is there really that many lines left ;) Jokes aside, of course the lines of java was easy to read, many of the shortcuts in Perl do make the code less readable but removes unnecessary lines in the process and the readability over effeciency is a whole different debate that rages on. I would like to point out though that on the whole perl is run from the script and would ask you to try and read the java .class file that the computer compiles. Alternatively look at the tremendous number of issues surrounding a Java JITC (Just In Time Compiler), as many of these are memory inefficient and would quite hapily get kicked from pillar to post by perl. Don't get me wrong I find programming in Java fascinating and enjoy using it for different things, you could sit here forever pointing out the pro's and con's of each language when compared against each other. Do something unholy and post the lines of Java up that GURU_2 used in his example, and see what people post back with for a perl equivelent. --pray.
