Well, in Perl, every line of code has to be inside some package. I don't see why Java earns a special bump up for such a distinction.

I'd rather say "bump down" ;-)
The point is that packages in Perl do not have to have anything to do with objects. They can be just namespaces. Maybe it's a little hard to define the distinction between group 2) and 3), but as I understand it the distinction is "do you HAVE to use objects? Do even things that have no point whatsoever to ever be objects HAVE to be objects?"
