I had to do something similar to this but my object data was in XML files. In that case I used XML:Simple but for this application I would use Config::Tiny as follows.
car.txt contents:
[pinto]
horse_power = 50
price = 10
[corvette]
horse_power = 200
price = 11000
#!/usr/bin/env/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Car;
my $car = Car->new('corvette');
print "My ", $car->model, " has ", $car->horse_power, " horsepower!";
1;
package Car;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Config::Tiny;
my $CONFIG = './car.txt';
sub new {
my ($class, $model) = @_;
my $cfg = Config::Tiny->new();
$cfg = Config::Tiny->read($CONFIG);
die warn "No such model $model!\n" unless exists $cfg->{$model};
return bless { model => $model, %{$cfg->{$model}} } , __PACKAGE__
+;
}
sub model {die warn "Can't change model!" if @_ > 1; $_[0]->{model}; }
sub horse_power {$_[0]->{horse_power} = $_[1] if @_ > 1; $_[0]->{horse
+_power}; }
sub price {$_[0]->{price} = $_[1] if @_ > 1; $_[0]->{price}; }
1;

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.
