Personally, I don't see a need for calling the same method on a number of objects. If you need an aggregate, create an aggregate. This, to me, would be a red flag in a code review. 

# make 8 random aliens
@lifeforms = map { RandomSpaceTraveller->new(); } (0..8);
# find out who is klingon
@klingons = grep { $_->get_species() eq 'klingon' } @lifeforms;
# blow the klingons away
foreach (@klingons) { $kirk->shoot_at($_); };

As evidenced above, I disagree. There are those of the functional school (of which I am quickly becoming a convert), who would say mixing OO and functional concepts in the same program is extremely funky in a good way.

Another point -- What if you are implementing an aggregate? Well, you need to know how to dance in aggregate school.
