just to give you all the info, there are some people who do not think that the
my $class = shift; $class = ref $class || $class;
construction is useful or appropriate in a constructor. I'm just getting into this OOP stuff myself, and have avoided that particular method mostly because of posts by tilly and merlyn. Tilly uses some examples you might like in A Cat's eye view of OO (though all of the thread might be helpful) and even refers to merlyn's take on the matter, ref($proto) - just say no!. and of course, there are excellent resources in the tutorials section, specifically the Perl Object Oriented Meta-Tutorial
, which is basically a list of further resources.
good luck with the OOP in perl, from someone who's also in the middle of struggling with it!

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
