Ok.

Not true.

String not, but what about GNAT.Spitbol, GNAT.Spitpat, GNAT.Regpat,
GNAT.Regexp, GNAT.AWK and GNAT.Expect ?

A package like an object ???? Maybe like a class of objects...!!! Pakckage is
a way to organize things and to build abstractions like ADT and ASM.

My experience differ !

Perl is the worst nightmare for any sized project. The worst nightmare. I
still ask myself how is that possible to "invent" such language ???
