So do I. The existing just-enough OO hooks in perl suit me fine.
If someone wants a restrictive scheme we need to make sure it does
not overburden those of us that don't need it.

Quite. C++'s structure is driven by the need to compile it into 
native code in seperate modules. We don't need to mimic that.
Java _seems_ to be a cut-down C++ with even more restrictions to assist
in memory management and to keep the bytecode tidy.
