Hmm... I'm sure plenty of people would disagree strongly with your remark of bad OO support in Perl. But, that is beside the point. You could either search CPAN (http://www.cpan.org/) and see if you find what you need there (Surely somebody had the same problem already), and if not, take a look at the AUTOLOAD "magic" sub in Perl (that'd be perldoc perlsub, search for 'Autoloading'). Hope this helps.
