| | [Chapter 13] Classes, Objects, and Ties |
 | | Perl supports classes and objects, single and multiple inheritance, instance methods and class methods, access to overridden methods, constructors and destructors, operator overloading, proxy methods through autoloading, delegation, a rooted hierarchy for all objects, and two levels of garbage collection. |
| | Invoking a method calls the function in the corresponding class, implicitly passing as the initial argument either a reference for object methods or a string for class methods. |
| | Inheritance means allowing one class to piggy-back on top of another so you don't have to write the same code again and again. |
