This is very correct. I started learning PHP after fairly long use of
Perl. Writing OS scripts in Perl is much easier then in PHP, even we're
talking PHP5. I must confess that I hate Perl's OO model with passion,

references is invented to torture pure souls like me, as well as @ISA
array which dubs for "extends" keyword in PHP.
