Wow, I was taken aback when I read "not interested in changing/fixing Perl itself". Ever heard of technical debt? You can feel it every time you type "my ($self) = @_". Also, Perl 5 doesn't have OO, it has blessed scalars. Just sayin' ;). If you want to maximize your code reuse, I suggest drinking the Moose Koolaid and learning about roles [1]. Chromatic has a pretty nice description [2] and hdp gave a nice description of them at a recent PDX.pm [3].
