If you have the new camel (3rd Ed.) Chapter 12 gives a fair overview if you understand OO and perl but haven't put the two together yet.

The already mentioned Object Oriented Perl by Damien Conway is, in my humble opinion, the best way to go. As it not only walks you through the pro's and con's of different object constructs but, for this reader, openned up a new way of looking at perl itself in it's 2nd Chapter

As for the O'Rielly Advanced Perl Programming, I have a hard time recommending that particular book to any one but 'C' programmers and even then with some reluctance as it's almost apologetic treatment of perl & OO-perl makes a person feel like they are just practicing an exersize in OO rather than learning to exploit and explore perl Objects.

Going through my bookmarks I found this reference Steve's OO perl Page but I haven't checked it out yet.

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
