You could create a package named Class.pm under a directory hierarchy like this: My/Package (My/Package/Class.pm) and then use the class like this: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# ./test_class.pl

use strict;
use My::Package::Class;

my $c = Class->new("arg");
print ref($c)."\n";

The package should be named Class instead of My::Package::Class.

# ./My/Package/Class.pm
package Class;
use strict;

sub new {
        my $class = shift;
        my $self = {
                        data => shift,
                };
        return(bless($self,$class));
}
1;

I don't really know if this is what you are looking for but i hope you find this useful.
