This isn't quite informative.  But objects also make it easier
to inter-relate a bunch of methods that you haven't necessarily
programmed yet without having to remember what arguments you
have to pass around from method to method, because you can get
them out of $self when you need them in whatever routine.  That,
I would say, is the biggest benefit (to me) for being strict
about using object structure whenever it makes sense.
