You might consider one of the following:
  1. Put the Storage object in a package variable within the Source and Destination classes.

    (in Source and Destination):

    our $storage; # or: # our Storage $storage; # I think this works to type it

    and in your main code:

    use Storage; my $storage = new Storage(); use Source; use Destination; $Source::storage = $storage; $Destination::storage = $storage; my $input = 'source.txt'; while (<IN>) { $source = new Source($_); $destination = new Destination(); $source->storeData(); $destination->useData(); }
  2. Pass the Storage object into the constructor of each of the Source and Destination objects:

    in your Source and Destination classes, add code to handle setting a Storage object as a parameter to new().
    then in your main code:

    use Storage; my $storage = new Storage(); use Source; use Destination; my $input = 'source.txt'; while (<IN>) { $source = new Source($_, storage => $storage); $destination = new Destination(storage => $storage); $source->storeData(); $destination->useData(); }
Personally, I prefer the latter solution, since that allows you in the future to have different Storage objects for different Source and Destination objects.
