Like the others, I think some sample code would go a long way to explain what you are asking. At the moment, from your description, I am imaginging you mean code like what AnomalousMonk showed. If that is the case, then what you might be asking about is "fields" or "properties" of objects...? A global variable (or more specifically, a "package variable") defined with our is neither, it's simply one variable that has nothing to do with the object's fields, the variable will not normally be affected by object creation. If you're asking about how to define fields, then I can suggest the chapter Objects in Modern Perl (you might want to start with the section "Blessed References" to see how Perl's native OO support works, or maybe perlootut).
