in thread Why not use a local variable for $self in Moose?

No, your $self in global scope is just one variable that then gets overwritten every time you instantiate a new object. The old one automatically gets DESTROYed at that time.

Maybe consider just creating two objects of the same such class and watch what happens.

    OK, I think I get it. There can only be one $my_package::self variable in the compiled code at a time.

    $PM = "Perl Monk's";
    $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest";
    $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

      $self doesn't belong to a package, it's private (not local ) in the file scope, since you declared it with my.
