Object orientation is programmer masturbation, a passing fad, and truly a bad idea that really does make programmers blind.
Yikes! I'm not sure I would call 40+ years of OO (17+ for perl5) a 'passing fad.' Excessive self-gratification, sure at times, but that's true with any language or style (Java, C++, procedural, functional, etc). In my experience, the language and/or technology is rarely a problem (give me the right assembly programmers and I can rule the world). Just like Eddie Wilson said it's 'words and music,' for us it's 'developer and tool.' The right pairing is a thing of beauty and the wrong pairing is destined for the unemployment line and the waste heap of history.

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).
