Hey, that Perl uses packages for classes, subroutines for methods, and
references for objects is in fact a shining examplar of that holy
grail of OO -- "code reuse". :-)

PS: The standard retort to the "tacked on" noise on Perl's objects
runs along the lines of `Python/Java's regex system wasn't integrated
into the language -- it's just "tacked on" to the side.' :-)
