What I frequently do is to add a "my @collection" at the top of the class (package) declaration.

I know this would upset a few OO-purists, but it works.

In the "new" method, before "return $self", do "push @collection, $self".

Now, you can create an object method that searches @collection.

In your case, you would probably be better off with %collection.

The alternative is to create a separate "collection" package that holds all the individuals.

             My goal ... to kill off the slow brain cells that are holding me back from synergizing my knowledge of vertically integrated mobile platforms in local cloud-based content management system datafication.
