Perl Design Pattenrs

In 1995, Design Patterns was published, and during the intervening years, it has had a great influence on how many developers write software. Here is a piece on how to use design patterns while coding OO Perl.

"In this series of articles, I present my take on how the Design Patterns book (the so-called Gang of Four book, which I will call GoF) and its philosophy applies to Perl. While Perl is an OO language -- you could code the examples from GoF directly in Perl -- many of the problems the GoF is trying to solve are better solved in Perl-specific ways, using techniques not open to Java developers or those C++ developers who insist on using only objects. Even if developers in other languages are willing to consider procedural approaches, they can't, for instance, use Perl's immensely powerful built-in pattern support."
