I've been doing Perl for over 7 years.  I've only started to _really_
rely on it in the last year.  5.005 was HAWT when I was just getting
started, and it did OO.  As I've quite recently discovered though...
having a good understanding of __USING__ OOP (I've been using DBI/DBD
for four years), and __CREATING__ OOP are vastly different beasts.

That said; I, for one, had no problem following your talk.

I would certainly find it quite handy.  I've learned Perl in a vacuum,
I've had two books, but I've not been surrounded by people whom also
do Perl.  This is the reason why I came into this group... I'm
interested in anything anyone has to say.

Thanks,
