I have a basic question about extending properties of objects. Consider

####### foo.pl ###################### use Foo; my $o = Foo->new( name => 'Tom' ); ####### Foo.pm ################## package Foo; sub new { my ($class, %args) = @_; my $self = { name => $args{name} }; bless $self, $class; return $self; } sub name { return $_[0]->{name}; } 1;

and

####### bar.pl ###################### use Bar; my $o = Bar->new( age => 23 ); ####### Bar.pm ################## package Bar; sub new { my ($class, %args) = @_; my $self = { age => $args{age} }; bless $self, $class; return $self; } sub age { return $_[0]->{age}; } 1;

My file structure on the disk looks like so --

foo.pl Foo.pm bar.pl Bar.pm

By now, things are getting messy, so I really want

####### foobar.pl ###################### use Foobar; my $o = Foobar->new( name => 'Tom' age => 23 );

and the files on my disk to be

foobar.pl Foobar.pm Foobar/Foo.pm Foobar/Bar.pm

How do I proceed? What do I put in Foobar.pm?

####### Foobar.pm ################## package Foobar; use Foobar::Foo; ??? use Foobar::Bar; ??? sub new { ???? } 1;

And, please, I don't want to know how to do it with Moose. Nothing against it; I just want to understand the logic and process behind achieving the above objective.
