+Very perl extension is a perl class. A separate perl object is created

-so for all practical purposes you can treat an extension script as a class.
-All of them must return a boolean value. If it is true, then the event
-counts as being consumed, and the invocation of other hooks is skipped,
-and the relevant action might not be carried out by the C++ code.
