About Perl 5 OO.
IMHO Perl OO is really clunky compared to Java or Python for instance. For an example just look at the really awkward ways you have to implement object attributes -- the easy way does not hide the data and the 'proper' way is really obscure.
Perl does have the OO features you need (and some of them are really clever), it's just they have been retrofitted to the language and it shows :-(. So for my money Perl 5 is not a 1st class OO language (but I wait for Perl 6 with baited breath)
