> Hi Bill/Brian et al. > > I have a few queries coming to my mind ... though not technical enough; but surely any light anybody can > through on this would silence the questions in my head. > > 1. Is there a internationally-recognised Perl-Certification Exam offered by ActiveState?? I am not aware of any internationally recognised Perl certification offered by anybody. Brainbench used to provide assessment tests, and probably still do, for a fee. There are possibly other similar commercial organisations. Personally, I tend to agree with the sentiments expressed here http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2004/01/perl_certifications_are_a_ hot.html. However, silencing the questions in your head may require medication :-) > 2. I have seen the OOP concepts of Perl, but they dont look convincing as Java/C++ OOP. Depends on your point of view. There are plenty of people who are not convinced by Java or C++ OO capabilities. > Do u really think Perl can be labelled as an OO-language?? (Assuming s/u/you/) Personally no, I wouldn't call Perl an OO language, as I think that that term should be reserved for languages that only permit OO, e.g. Smalltalk. I would say that Perl (as well as C++ and Java) supports OO, as it supports other programming/design paradigms, and supports it quite well enough. I expect that Perl 6 will have better OO support. > > Apologies if these questions sound amateur. I am sure I heard somebody say once that "There is no such thing as a stupid question, but plenty of stupid answers".
