in reply to 'Not a HASH reference' error using Objects

Welcome to the Monastery, irwin.

The problem is on this line: 

bless \$self, $class;

Here, $self is a scalar which contains a reference to a hash. What you bless, is a reference to $self (\$self) instead of $self. The line should be: 

bless $self, $class;
