> The whole thing was written in perl 4 style OO Perl

What does that mean? Perl's basic OO support (using blessed hash references) was introduced with Perl 5 in 1994. I have no idea how anyone would even attempt writing OO code in Perl 4.

It says perl 4 style OO Perl, not perl 4 OO style Perl

He said he was using perl 4. And there was no such thing as "perl 4 style OO".

I'm thinking he's just misremembering what version of perl he was using. Easy to do after 20+ years.

I can write C style C++ or html 4 style html 5
