Without getting into remarks about simply using core modules and style sheets...

The constructor method new is returning a true value, which is screwing with returning the now blessed object. You want sub new{my $class = shift; my $self = {}; bless $self, $class; }

Then, 
sub StartTable {
    my $class = shift;
    my %self = @_;
    my $color = $self{'Color'};
    ...
}

then call the method using 
$sm->StartTable( Color => 'Ugly Yellow', 
                 Height => 'Too Tall',
                 Width => 'Skinny');

In the meantime, merlyn wrote an awesome intro to OO which will help you get past the hurdles to the concept, and (as an unintended side-effect) improve your use of modules-- check perldoc perlboot in any Perl 5.6+ install.

Update: Actually, this is a silly way to do this. If you aren't going to create an instance, you don't need a new() method at all.
