I am probably getting in trouble here, being only a scribe, but I would like to express my feelings on these very worthy questions.
I end up using OO-Perl:
When I find that the structures that I am using in my program have inherent subroutines (methods) associated with them, or when the structures build on substructures in a logical way.
I also have found that I will rewrite some procedural hack as a module (OO prefered here) when the hack looks like it might actually be useful to several applications or to other folks.
Question 2: I do whole lot of precedural hacks, maybe 1-100 lines of code. I wouldn't use objects on these, unless, of course, I am using a Perl Module that lends itself to an object/method model. (Most do!)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
