Did I say I expect Perl to do the right thing? :-)

mocking! (Score:1)
In a statically typed language, you will just read the interface. And you are sure this is only what you need to implement, else the application would not compile
In a dynamically typed language, you will either have to filter the code that use the object you want to mock to see what is bein used, a process of trial and error. Or you will rely on documentation, which is not as strong as a compile time check.
So the lesson I learned is, programming with interfaces helps in creating mock objects.
And the main problem I see is figuring out what to implement or override, not how?
