I think that "learning OOP in Perl" should be seen as two steps - first "learn object oriented programming", then "learn how to do it in perl".

For the first step I can strongly recommend Object Oriented Software Construction by Bertrand Meyer. It uses Eiffel for all its examples (which is a very nice language, but totally different from perl), but don't let that deter you. Nearly all ideas in object orientation are language independent. It's a great book, but rather technical.

Once you know how object orientation works, it's not hard to learn from the perl documentation. I learned it from perlboot and perltoot. I'm also sure that once you have a firm grasp of OO, you will find the Moose documentation sufficient.

As to TheDamian's book - I haven't read it, so I can't really comment. But from reading his book "Perl Best Practices" I can say that he write great books, but his module recommendations are bit weird sometimes.
