For me it's the confluence of liking OO programming and liking perl.

I can't imagine going back to doing purely functional programming.  I 
learned OO on C++, really got it with Java and prefer to write it in 
perl, though Ruby is on my list.

I used Damian Conway's _Object Oriented Perl_ to learn.  Heck, it's 
mostly dusty so if you're up my way you're welcome to borrow it for a 
while.
