Venus provides an object-orientation framework and extendible standard library for Perl 5, built on top of the Mars architecture with classes which wrap most native Perl data types. Venus has a simple modular architecture, robust library of classes, methods, and roles, supports pure-Perl autoboxing, advanced exception handling, "true" and "false" functions, package introspection, command-line options parsing, and more. This package will always automatically exports true and false keyword functions (unless existing routines of the same name already exist in the calling package or its parents), otherwise exports keyword functions as requested at import.
