Perl: Modular and Object-Oriented

Isolate data and behavior using packages:


    package Car;
    $fuel_efficiency = .75;
    package Truck;
    $fuel_efficiency = .50;

Inheritance, polymorphism, and limited encapsulation

Naming conventions encourage reuse and make it easy to find related modules:


    package Text::ParseWords; # Hal Pomeranz
    package Text::Soundex;    # Mike Stok
    
    package Net::Ping;        # Russell Mosemann
    package Net::FTP;         # Graham Barr
