Having wrestled with Perl's OO for a long while before
discovering Python, I find it hard to credit this 'inspiration'
thing, though this is not the first time I've heard it mentioned,
so I guess it must be a paraphrase from Larry Wall, or something.

It _feels_ very different (and worse...), is all I can say...
