(Although not true object oriented programming,) it is possible to do
object oriented programming with perl, see:
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlobj.html

See also Tom Christiansen's tutorial: perltoot - Tom's object-oriented
tutorial for perl http://perldoc.perl.org/perltoot.html
Inheritance, multiple inheritance and hence polymorphism are also supported.
