i've been using perl's oo stuff a while now, and it seems work just
fine.  (think it's been there since perl 5 release)  i found the 
best places to study from is perl man pages.

assuming you haven't read much about perl's oo yet, however, it
may not be what you are expecting.  e.g, since perl doesn't have 
strict type checking, polymorphism sorta doesn't make sense.

on the other hand, it's flexibility allows you to implement more 
newer features of oo, like reflection and catch all method.  verty
interesting if you just like to know different programing languages.
