7-10 years ago, Perl was my daily bread and butter. It was the language I used the most, and not only did it supplant a lot of C code, but was the optimal scripting solution.
Now, for me, Ruby has supplanted Perl in nearly every conceivable way -- OO Perl was always painful, and I do not miss ever having to bless a refrent again…
- ZeroMinx 14y agoI do Perl on a daily basis, and I can't remember when I last blessed a ref. use Moose;
- irahul 14y agoDo you use Moose, or MooseX::Declare? Moose has a startup penalty, but when I am willing to accept that, I would rather use declare extensions as well.
- iloveponies 14y agoIf the startup penalty is such a concern, There is Moo. And Mo. And M. Or failing that tools like Class::Accessor.
- einhverfr 14y agoI bless refs occasionally but not often. Maybe sometime I will get out of the habit but yeah Moose rocks in general.
