Thanks for the reply. Yes, I see I fat fingered the owner/some_owner variable.
It does compile on my system (if I omit use strict). I should add that I'm running Perl 5.6.1 because some of the code I'm maintaining needs this version. Except for the last 7 lines where I'm trying to print out the field elements, I pulled all the code from here: http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/perl/prog3/ch32_06.htm Again, this compiles on my system if I omit use strict. If I add use strict it instructs me that I need to Global symbol "$store" requires explicit package name at classexample.pl line 18. Global symbol "$store" requires explicit package name at classexample.pl line 19. ... If I specify $Shoppe::store = Shoppe->new(); and $Shoppe::store->owner('Abdul Alhazred'); etc, It passes the use strict specification, but it still fails at print "owner: $Shoppe::store->owner()\n"; $some_owner = $Shoppe::store->owner(); print "owner: $some_owner\n"; If I omit use strict it prints out the Do I need to put the Class definition in a separate file and call it a package, and then instruct my script to "use Shoppe"? That doesn't seem right. I'm pretty stumped, so thanks for your help. I think I'm pretty close.
