Just wait until you get to the part where you can treat an anonymous
subroutine as an object. :D
For details, see `perldoc -f bless`.
"bless REF
This function tells the thingy referenced by REF that it
is now
an object in the CLASSNAME package. ..."
'thingy' is a great technical term. ;-)
When I learned rudimentary C/C++ in school, I was taught pointers and
structs/classes initially as separate concepts, and later the two were
connected. It's becoming apparent to me that learning Perl objects
_requires_ a solid understanding of references first...
