Why use Perl for object-oriented programming?
Perl doesn’t even get a mention in most OO programming comparisons, which is really too bad. Perl can be one of the strongest, most efficient languages to code OO final or prototype code. Even if your shop is hard-core Java, C++, or SmallTalk, why sling around a bulky IDE if you could rapidly prototype your classes in a dynamic language before setting the cement in Java or another compiled dynamic language. For the most part this question is flame-bate so we’ll leave that to the blogosphere and what’s left of NNTP.
