I know there are some great modules on CPAN that implement this sort of dual interface.
Which do you have in mind? The only one I can think of is CGI, and it's either the worst example of a dual interface or the best, in that it's slow, complicated, potentially very buggy, and difficult to maintain.
For me the important question is whether an operation needs to encapsulate some kind of state. If so, I use an object interface. If not, I use a procedural interface.
I want to avoid using these until I have a solid grasp of how to implement OO in Perl by hand.
That sounds backwards to me. I've written my own regular expression engine, but I wouldn't suggest someone take a class on automata before performing simple matches.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
