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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
