The main concept in OO is that you construct a "Class" - representing generic properties, then you "Instantiate" one or more instances of that class.

In your case, the "Class" that stands out is "Movie" (Note - this is singular).
A movie has properties 'title', 'start year' , 'end year' , 'media' .. etc .

You would instantiate an instance of the 'Movie" class by :

my $m = Movie::->new (title=>'Great gatsby', year ....);

For your case, it would also be helpful to have a different class for a COLLECTION of movies (and to enable search).

Let me know if this is heading in a direction that means something to you. I'm sure other monks will also chime in and offer more detailed code.

• 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.
