Welcome to perlishpatterns.com, the home of the book Perlish Patterns, which addresses the problems described in Design Patterns from the perspective of Perl.
In Perlish Patterns, I lay out a basket of ideas -- which I rely on regularly in my day job -- in the hope that others will also find these techniques useful.
After presenting four chapters of introductory material -- covering reference based data structures, closures, mix-ins, and recursion -- I apply those techniques to the problems from Design Patterns. While that venerable book concentrates all of its solution advice on object oriented approaches, I admit the full power of Perl.
Please keep in mind that the patterns problems can be solved in multiple ways. The ways I chose to highlight in Perlish Patterns are not the only ways to solve those problems. As Larry Wall advises for all of Perl, I urge you to use them when they make sense, and not when they don't. I do hope that my ideas will help you think about the problems you need to solve in light of Perl's enormously rich feature set.
