Hi Monks, still getting to grips with OO Perl. I know there are modules out there like Moose et al, but i' writing classic perl Objects as a learning experience.

I'm not sure where to begin with inheritance though. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction?

I'd like to have a class which has some static attributes. For example if i create an object it will be created with hardcoded attributes without me passing them as arguments to the "new" constructor. How do i go about that?

Then i have a second class which i will be creating objects which can only have attributes which are found in the previous class. I don't know how to get the second class to know it can only have those attributes and to only allow the object to be called with those attributes having variables assigned to them.

Any help greatly appreciated.
