And we were trying to explain to you that it doesn't really matter
whether you have some builtin method of the builtin types or just a
buch of builtin functions&operators. And that we actually prefer the
second for the very basic types like numbers and strings.
I asked you in another mail whether you'd rather write
x = y.sin().plus(z)
or
x = sin(x) + z
What's the reply?

Do not sweat about "real whatever" langauges. That's not what gets
the job done. So Perl doesn't treat the base types like objects. So
what? That doesn't make its support for OO programming any less
complete.
Yeah in strongly typed languages with oldstyle type system (read all
mainstream strongly typed langauges including Java and C#) need some
base "Object" type that all other types, including the base ones,
inherit from. You don't need this in Perl, you can pass a number or a
string or an object to the same function or method and the method may
easily be programmed to accept them all and do the right thing. Even
if some of them are not considered objects.
In my opinion forcing everything to be an object is wrong. Or at
least inconvenient. (Especialy the way Java/C# does it.)
But that's just my personal preference.
