  If you find yourself enjoying the OO paradigm, might I suggest learning a bit of Ruby and seeing how it stacks up against the Perl and C++ versions? If not, I'll await your final Perl product and see what I can come up with. :)

    I like OO, but I like prefer to use it when needed not all the time. Something that works in Perl and to a lesser degree in C++ is to write some procedural prototypes or functions to prove a concept, then refactor and re-implement in purer OO as the requirements and solution become clearer.

    I assume Ruby doesn't have the 'Everything must be an object' OO puritanism of Java.

    I would look at Ruby but getting up to speed on C++ is work enough and I don't see Ruby bringing in a salary anytime soon.

    I plan to

      You are correct - you can use a functional style in Ruby if you wish.

      Now that you mention it, it might be interesting to see how your code looks in Java. :)
