Huh? my $cgi = new CGI; And hey presto, $cgi has all the methods of the CGI class. And so on and so forth for all other OO Perl. (And most other languages with OO capabilities, for that matter, including C++.) What are you talking about? The fact that strings, scalars, etc aren't usually thought of as objects (even though they have both data and standard methods for operating on them)? Unlike what I suspect Randal would say, I like Python. I have no problem with it. It's a nice language. But that doesn't invalidate the fact that Perl does indeed have a complete and fully functional OO framework, even though the language didn't grow up around this framework the way Python did. -- Chris Devers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
