You can find an introduction to OOP (and in Perl) here: http://perl-begin.org/tutorials/perl-for-newbies/part3/ As I noted in a previous E-mail message, you can find more resources about OOP in Perl here: http://perl-begin.org/topics/object-oriented/ Regards, Shlomi Fish > -----Original Message----- > From: Damon Allen Davison [mailto:allo...@gmail.com] > Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 8:37 AM > To: Pry, Jeffrey > Subject: Re: Object Oriented > > On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 12:09 PM, Pry, Jeffrey <jeffrey....@sig.com> wrote: > > Does anyone know of good resource to learn object oriented Perl?
