Simple answer is "yes", however writing Perl OO is um...
1) Easier than writing OO in Java
and
2) Harder than writing OO in Java

For a start read:

perldoc perlobj
perldoc perlboot
perldoc perltoot
perldoc perltootc
perldoc perlbot

and for the hardcore:
perldoc perltie

An excellent book on the subject is "Object Oriented Perl" by Damien Conway.

Without detracting from my fondness of Perl, it's not an OO language in
as much that OO is immediately easy to do, and things like inheritance
and polymorphism have to be handled. All the best.
