You really want something more like this:

package Animal;
use Moo;
has [qw(name gender)] => (is => 'ro');

package Pet;
use Moo::Role;
has [qw(treats pref)] => (is => 'ro');
sub play { sprintf "%s a %s", $_[0]->pref, @{$_[0]->treats}[rand@{$_[0
+]->treats}] }

package Dog;
use Moo; extends 'Animal'; with 'Pet';

package Cat;
use Moo; extends 'Animal'; with 'Pet';

package main;
my @pets = (
    Dog->new( name => 'Odie', gender => 'male', pref => 'chases', trea
+ts => [qw(ball bone doll)] ),
    Cat->new( name => 'Garfield', gender => 'male', pref => 'eats', tr
+eats => [qw(lasagna pookie blanket)] ),
);

printf "%s, being %s, %s.\n", $_->name, $_->gender, $_->play for @pets
+;

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.
