I've only had time to briefly skim the document, but if I have to summarize the document, it seems to boil down to "Don't do objects yourself. Use something that doesn't come with Perl". Without further judging the content of the document, that just feels wrong. Not that I have much of a solution though. AbigailThread Previous | Thread Next
