Reminds me of a Larry Wall quote: "I don't really know much about Python. I only stole its object system for Perl 5. I have since repented."
Really, Perl's native OO stuff just lacks syntactic sugar. "Bless" is admittedly weird. And you have to write "new" yourself. If you get over those 2 things, it's really quite the same as everything else.
