You're arguing about semantics, but you concede that the functionality you're describing exists just as succinctly in both languages. So, again -- so what ? It's a difference without a distinction. Python & Ruby implement these operations with a .method() syntax. Perl generally implements them with a function() syntax. The two sides are far more similar than different.
