I have a package car. What i need is a variable that counts the number of objects derived from this class. Say i have a car rental company and want to keep track of the number of cars being rented, each time a car object is being created means 1 car has been rented. I have been looking on the internet but can't find anything. How can i do this(if possible at all)? Here is the car.pm file:
use strict;
use warnings;
package car;
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $self = {
name => shift,
price => shift,
speed => 0
};
print "Object car being created:\n";
print "Name: $self->{name}\n";
print "price: $self->{price}\n\n";
bless $self, $class;
return $self;
}
sub speed_up{
my $self = shift;
my $acc = shift;
$self->{speed} += $acc;
return $self->{speed};
}
sub slow_down{
my $self = shift;
my $acc = shift;
$self->{speed} -= $acc;
return $self->{speed};
}
1;
Here is an example of a belonging .pl file: use strict;
use warnings;
use car;
my $speed;
my $auto = new car("Opel Vectra",50000);
$speed = $auto->speed_up(25);
print "Speed is: $speed km\n";
$speed = $auto->speed_up(10);
print "Speed is: $speed km\n";
$speed = $auto->slow_down(20);
print "Speed is: $speed km\n";

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).
