You need to make a distinction between using object-oriented modules--that other people have written--and writing OO code yourself. There's a *huge* distinction, and if you're just going to be using LWP, you don't need to be an expert OO programmer.

That said, I have a tutorial, Perl Object Oriented Meta-Tutorial, on where to look to get a start in OO programming in Perl. It's not complete, probably, but it's a start.

One of the first links there, actually, is this: Easy Perl5 Object Intro. It expands on what I wrote above: you don't need to be an OO programmer to use objects.
