* Perl has one of the most featureful object systems in existence *

That's an overstatement. Perl is in no way actually object-oriented. It's a feature that's tacked on, but it doesn't help you write better code. If you think Perl's object architecture is featureful, take a look at Ruby. It'll blow you away.




I may be wrong, but I think he's talking about Moose, not Perl's native OO style/system. (Though I suppose you could also argue that the native system is pretty nice too, if it allows you to create Moose on top of it.)
