OO in Perl5 is, as you describe it, incredibly bolted onto the side.While Perl In A Nutshell isn't really the place to get into it, the Camel book is, and does.

(And "Bash scripting with a much bigger library of niceties and bolt-ons" isn't a bad way to describe the origins of Perl... The desire was to incorporate into one tool the libraries and bolt-ons normally involved with shell scripting, things like grep, awk, sed, etc).

The good news is that Perl6 is OO through-and-through; the bad news is that Perl6 has been in development for nearly a decade and isn't ready yet; the second good news is that there are already working implementations of Perl6 (as it stands now) that can do some amazing things; the second bad news is that they aren't ready for production yet.
