This is very correct. I started learning PHP after fairly long use of
Perl. Writing OS scripts in Perl is much easier then in PHP, even we're
talking PHP5. I must confess that I hate Perl's OO model with passion,
though. PHP has an order of magnitude better OO model then Perl. Blessing
references is invented to torture pure souls like me, as well as @ISA
array which dubs for "extends" keyword in PHP.
