Especially when you're learning Moose, writing some more involved Unix scripts would be an option. It's not that bad for those circumstances, though. Personally, I just have problems wrapping my Perl style around more involved types of OO, so for Perl I'm happy enough with normal packages and procedural programming. And as a side note, the compilation times for C++ made a lot of people switch to another language, although Moose is about a few orders of magnitude away from those kinds of problems.
