sigzero (email not shown publicly) I am the proverbial "accidental" programmer. I have found that I really like Perl and programming so I am pursuing that route now.
I am the Debian systems administrator and junior Perl programmer for a company called Inspire.
There is the "standard" way to do Perl objects and there are these things called InsideOut objects that Object::InsideOut and Class::InsideOut help you with.
