Tutorial
Advanced Object Oriented Perl
Damian Conway, Thoughtstream

Track: Perl
Date: Tuesday, July 23
Time: 8:45am - 5:30pm
Location: Grande Ballroom A

This tutorial will show participants how to build on the basic object-oriented Perl techniques they already know and unlock more of the power of Perl's OO capabilities.

They will learn:

how (and when) to bless arrays and scalars;
three different ways to implement data hiding for Perl objects
how Perl implements inheritance and polymorphism (and how to change the rules of either);
the features (and traps) of operator overloading in Perl;
easy ways to build complete classes (semi-)automatically;
how to do design-by-contract programming in OO Perl
how to use multiple dispatch (an advanced form of polymorphism)
