[RLUG] Addicted to Lua

[Garrett P. Taylor]

I've been working on a PERL framework that works similarly to GUI
widgets but for text-based applications. To make a keyboard listener, I
had to hack up the OO by writing my own funky overloaded constructors
and bypassing that accursed bless function.

Heh.. I don't think your issues with perl OO are due to a lack of 
experience with it.
Perl's OO is a kludge at best... not surprising, as it was hacked on 
during perl5.
