Of all the responses this is my favourite. I'm surprised it's not got more votes than my comment.

If you've read the question 1, I hope you'll see it's not a "how should objects be used" question; it's a "how should I abuse objects.." question, tye's and tilly's comments were more salient for me (FWIW).

Not to say the others missed the point, I've learnt some new OO good practices, thankyou :-). I've ++ all the comments in a thread, since they're all well written and to see what other folk think of the responses, if people ++ a statement more than I'd expect then I look a harder at the comment, to see if I've missed anything.

1. For me "Hacking Objects in Perl" means elegantly ignoring OO principles to achieve what I want. I could do neat Objects but not in this job ;^)
