Although I still like Perl, yes, the OO stuff is rather interesting,
certainly unique. It works, though. Larry Wall (along with lots of
other people) is working on Perl 6 these days, which looks like it'll
have enough changes in it to make it virtually a whole new language.
Not new enough for dedicated Pythonistas, probably! ;-) It'll still have
punctuation and block delimiters :-). ... and OO will be done right
this time! Yay! 

I'm sure y'all needed to know that! ;-)

BFN,
