I'm no Ruby expert, but I think you're misinterpreting the example in the book. @@population is a "class attribute", not an object attribute. In other words, it's a property of the "Person" class; not a property of each Person.
Using Moose you could model it along these lines:
package Person {
use Moose;
use MooseX::ClassAttribute;
has name => (is => 'ro', isa => 'Str');
class_has population => (is => 'ro', isa => 'ArrayRef');
}
my $bob = Person->new(name => "Robert");
push @{ Person->population }, $bob;
Though there are many reasons to avoid class attributes. (Basically think of all the good reasons to avoid global variables, and then s/global variables/class attributes/gi.)
package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
