Greetings Monks! I seek your enlightenment. How do I make objects interact with each other? For instance, lets say I have one object attack another object? How do I change an objects internal data? 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Peasant;

my $henry = Peasant->new(name => "Peasant1", hp => "15");
my $joe = Peasant->new(name => "Peasant2", hp => "15");


$joe->damage($henry->attack);
$henry->damage($joe->attack);

package Peasant;
use strict;


sub new {

    my ($class, %arg) = @_;
    my $objref = {
        _name => $arg{name} || "unknown",
        _hp   => $arg{name} || "unknown"
    };
    bless $objref, $class;
    return $objref;
}

sub damage {
    print "$_[0] damage\n";
    $_[0]->{_hp} - $_[0];
    
} 


sub name { return $_[0]->{_name} }


sub attack {
    my $int = int(rand(5));
    print "$_[0]->{_name} attacks for $int.....\n";
    return $int;
}
1;
