in reply to To use or not to use OO Perl
Where OO is helpful is that working with objects instead of home-grown complex data structures provides a useful layer of abstraction that lets us hide complexity from ourselves, so we have to maintain less state information in our poor little branes. That benefit alone makes it worth using.
As for your two questions - the answer to the second is simplest. It's "no". And the reason is the answer to the first - I write OO code when I feel that it helps me solve the problem best, which I suppose is a bit wishy-washy. Sorry.
