Well, you've just been getting your Perl from the wrong people. :)
Perl is meant to be, and generally is, pretty self-evident. None
of this kind of crap:

    def read(self):
        import urllib
        self.parse(urllib.urlopen(self.url).readlines())

Beware the the OOWock, my son! 
    The methods that byte, the classes that scratch, 
Beware the Jawa bird, and shun,
    The frumious Pythonatch!
