A Programmer�s Discussion: Procedural vs. OO

By

“So I have been writing code of one sort or another for over 15
years (mostly Perl) and there is still one thing I don’t get …
what is the advantage of object oriented programming (OOP) over
procedural programming (PP)?

“I want to have an open discussion on the topic. Obviously I
deal with both OOP and PP, but I am strongly in the PP camp. I am
wondering “did I miss the boat”? I heard that Perl 6 will have very
strong OOP and possibly will be pure OOP only, so if Larry Wall
(way smarter then me) thinks it is a good idea, I must have missed
something.”
