I've a feeling it should be something along the lines of @hash{@keys} = @values; which I've seen on another thread, but I can't quite get there.

...but you were near!

What do you think of:

sub new {
    my $class_name = shift;
    my %self ;

    @self{qw(sec min hour mday mon
             year wday yday isdst)} = localtime();

    bless \%self,$class_name ;
}
