[sf-perl] Perl Standards / Perl Best Practices

[Bryan Beeley]

I read through the Manual and Cookbook, but the syntax and concepts were 
different enough from standard Perl to make it hard to get my arms 
around.  I think my attempt at writing code from scratch using Moose 
made it hard to digest.

What finally got me over the hump was writing Catalyst and 
HTML::FormHandler based code that made use of the fact that both 
packages are now written in Moose.  Once I started to read Moose code 
and write code for Moose APIs, things started to click.  Now that I 
have, I would much rather write Moose code than standard OOP.
