I have written a module to access our statistics database and graph the output. I was asked to add a feature to allow users to change the style of the graph. Foolishly I thought this would be a quick change but I appear to be missing something

I am using Class::Std and have created the hash structure for the style variable. 

my %style        : ATTR( :get<style> :set<style>);

[download]

In a later subroutine I attempt to call the set method to change the value of style

    $self->set_style = $$values{style};

[download]

I then get the error message. Can't modify non-lvalue subroutine call at

Since I'm attempting to use the set method to change the value I don't understand why I would get the lvalue error. I have reviewed the Class::Std documentation but haven't been able to find what I'm doing wrong.

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you Javahead
