classes (0.944)

This review is a little cheeky of me. But just want the previous reviewer to know that classes is stable and popular on the big project I am involved with at work, even with perl2exe compilation, which was a very big determining factor in our decision to stay with Perl instead of Python, Ruby, or Java. I have yet to discover a write once compile for every OS out there approach as complete and stable as Indigo Star's humble perl2exe. Since we are a system management and remediation application, Perl and classes were the natural fit since Perl is so close to the operating system already and has so very many libraries and modules for system related tasks.

I found classes very usefull. It allow to write object code in perl5 without having to do a lot of stupid controls that are not related to the code itself.
It allow to have very compact code, and really natural, from my point of view.

I am really astonished that "classes" seems to be not very popular. Perhaps it is because of Perl6, but there is a lot of Perl programmers that don't intend too use Perl6 in a short term. And "classes" seems to be a really good way to produce object programming in Perl5.
