I think it's conventional to put an underscore before your object variable names too, eg _beverage.

Erm, that's only for private properties, the rest are not prefixed with an underbar.
From perltoot:

  Occasionally you'll see method names beginning or ending
  with an underscore or two.  This marking is a convention
  indicating that the methods are private to that class
  alone and sometimes to its closest acquaintances, its
  immediate subclasses.  But this distinction is not
  enforced by Perl itself.  It's up to the programmer to
  behave.

I feel your statement is misleading. New developers could use underbar incorrectly in their own code, and using other folks modules.
