i don't agree with this. otherwise you could say that ruby has only objects,
whereas perl has objects *and* array, hash, type globs!

i agree the term object for perl is kinda strange, but it permits a lot of
things... even changing your parent class dynamically! (maybe ruby has it, i
haven't look much at OO in ruby yet)  i agree it is *not* usefull and *is*
dangerous
