As I relearn Perl OO programming, there are a few changes or improvements that have been added since the last time I was programming in perl full-time. In the old days, we manually wrote our OO code in perl and liked it. We didn’t know any better. These days we have helper modules to remove the need to re-write over and over many of the same OO code elements thanks to Moose, Mouse, Moo and Mo. Hop
