I am really not competent to talk about OO since Object Oriented programming is not something I am excited about.
The only language in which I have used it is in Perl. And in CGI I use it a lot without actually knowing that I use OO at all. It does not force one to think much, it is not pedagogical and abstruse or confusing. It just gets your job done. So we may have a lot of subjective arguments here. Essentially my point was that in lower level languages like C++ and Jave and other OO focused languages OO becomes very involved and difficult(at least for me). But in perl it is nice and simple. But you have to read a lot and the information is scattered in several different man pages. $perldoc perlobj $ perldoc perlboot $perldoc perltoot $perldoc perlbot and so on. Also $ perldoc perlmod In the case of perl object orientation is implemented using the module and package concept. We will cover that later. So all I am saying is that one can have any number of subjective views. We should end up learning something useful that is all. I think it will be impossible for me to remove opinion from fact or vice versa. Please take my tips with a pinch of salt. I don't think even wikipedia is free from prejudice. So just live with it. ;) -Girish -- G3 Tech Networking appliance company web: http://g3tech.in mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
