Ukhas, Every now and then someone asks about certification, but the general consensus in the Perl community is that certification is not particularly useful. As for OOP, Perl is very OO. It has built-in support for data hiding, encapsulation, method calls, the whole ball of wax. Plus it has powerful reflection, run-time definition, and exception-handling capabilities. It is every bit as capable an OO language as Java or C++ or C#; just different. I personally have programmed in all three, and I greatly prefer Perl's OO model.

I have a few queries coming to my mind ... though not technical enough; but surely any light anybody can through on this would silence the questions in my head. 1. Is there a internationally-recognised Perl-Certification Exam offered by ActiveState?? 2. I have seen the OOP concepts of Perl, but they dont look convincing as Java/C++ OOP. Do u really think Perl can be labelled as an OO-language?? Apologies if these questions sound amateur.
