That's the way Perl was made object-oriented:


A function bless(<ptr>,<namespace>) was introduced to connect a
pointer to a namespace. The pointer references a data structure for
the member variables of an object instance. The namespace comprises
all functions that belong to the class (member functions).


Functions were made object-oriented by assuming the first parameter is
always <ptr>, the pointer to the member variable data structure.


Whenever a function call of an oop function is
made, e.g. $o->foo(param1,...), the runtime system searches
for the namespace associated with the reference $o
an then calls in that namespace foo($o, param1, ...).
