Personally, I don't see a need for calling the same method on a number of objects. If you need an aggregate, create an aggregate. This, to me, would be a red flag in a code review.
# make 8 random aliens
@lifeforms = map { RandomSpaceTraveller->new(); } (0..8);
# find out who is klingon
@klingons = grep { $_->get_species() eq 'klingon' } @lifeforms;
# blow the klingons away
foreach (@klingons) { $kirk->shoot_at($_); };
As evidenced above, I disagree. There are those of the functional school (of which I am quickly becoming a convert), who would say mixing OO and functional concepts in the same program is extremely funky in a good way.
Another point -- What if you are implementing an aggregate? Well, you need to know how to dance in aggregate school.

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).
