See <http://www.manning.com/Conway/index.html>.
It really is a tremendous book. I thought I knew OO Perl pretty well, but after
reading Conway's book I realised I'd hardly begun!... Some of the useful techniques
described:
* Using closures to create static class data
* Encapsulation with Pseudo-hashes and 'use fields'
* Secure encapsulation with SecureHash and the flyweight pattern
* Auto generating classes with Method::Maker
* Implementing persistance
* Inheriting class data
* Blessing regexps, subs, and globs
I could keep going, but there's a taste... There's a good forum at the attached
web-site that Conway visits regularly.
