I have two choices with which to implement passing data to subroutines in packages and I was wondering whether someone could enlighten as to which method is more efficient.

The first method uses the standard method of passing values to subroutines: 
package Temp;
sub test
{
 my ($params)=@_;
print "$params";
}
###main code
use Temp;
Temp->test("some param");

The other method uses perl oo to use the package's constructor to store the variable values. 
package Temp;
sub new
{
    my ($class,$params)=@_;
    my $self={};
    $self->{param}="$params";
    bless($self,$class);
    return $self;
}
sub test
{
my ($self)=@_;
my $param=$self->{param};
print "$param";
}
###main code
use Temp;
my $obj=Send->new("some param");
$obj->test();

Aside from a syntaxical errors, both of these methods should and do produce the same results. I'm wondering which is the method of choice, especially if I start passing roughly 6 params to packaged subroutines.
Thanks.
