It looks like an object is what I want. Am I correct? Suppose I need to work
with a bit of data that actually has 11 attributes. This would be an object of
another type. However, I need to manipulate pieces of it differently. So I'm
guessing I would create an object thusly:
sub objectname {
my %hashOfAttribs {
attrib1 => undef,
attrib2 => undef,
attrib3 => undef
}
}
I would then create an instance of that object
my $instance = new objectname();
I'm not certain though, how to populate the elements. would it actually be
my $instance = new objectname(attrib1 => value, attrib2 => value, attrib3 =>
value)? Or would I create the instance as above and then populate it by some
other means? For instance
$instance->hashOfAttribs {
attrib1 => value,
attrib2 => value,
attrib3 => value
};
Am I at least on the right track?
