Venus is an object-orientation framework and extendible standard library for Perl 5, built on top of Mars architecture with classes which wrap most native Perl data types. Venus has a simple modular architecture, robust library of classes and methods, supports pure-Perl autoboxing, advanced exception handling, "true" and "false" keywords, package introspection, command-line options parsing, and more.
