Hello all,

I am pretty new to OOP programming and am trying to learn how to use Moose and I cant seem to find an example/explanation of what I need to do, although I am learning a lot reading through trying to find it.

What I am trying to do is create a new object like below and then have that return an ID from a DB.

get_id->new( email => 'test@test.com' );

I have something like the below already;

has 'email' => (
    is        =>    'rw',
    isa        =>    'Str',
    required     =>    1,
    clearer        =>    'clear_email',
    predicate    =>    'has_email',
);

I've seen 'default => sub', but I'm not entirely sure if it's appropriate or how the inheritance works using it.

Is there someway I can call a sub or method and have it return the ID? If so, could you please tell me where I can find it in the documentation?

Thanks for your help!
