Actually, for some time I have used the following convention in object-oriented modules: 

sub func {
    my $self = shift;
    my ($param1, $param2, ..., $paramn) = @_;
    # ...
}

Motivation: you "slurp" the calling object, after which it is clearer which are actually parameters to the method.

(Sorry for OT.)

Update: changed "my func" to "sub func". Silly me.
