I've quit calling Perl object oriented. I call it "Object Capable" when describing it. It's not object oriented at all, it's object occasionally wanders in the direction. =P

One of the benefits to working in Perl is not being tied down by "method"ology when you don't want it. Writing a module only to discover that half of the methods are just returning and setting state values tends to disgust me. That is another benefit of the Perl community, they rarely vilifiy procedural coding. Most of the perl coders seem to have grown up from shell scripting. Even the "classically trained" coders shed their inhibitions and indulge.
