If a method doesn&amp;#39;t exist I&amp;#39;m trying to call, I want to know about it at compile time
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You aren't going to get missing-method detection at compile time in a dynamic
language, so that won't qualify in my book as part of Perl's OO
'hackishness' (I guess it can in your book, but then you'd also need to
find Ruby and Smalltalk's OO hackish as well).
