sub new { # @_ = ('Music', 5) my $class = shift; # @_ = (5) my $number1 = @_; # $number1 = 1 - array in scalar context r +eturns it's size! my $number2 = &add_numbers; # here you call sub add_numbers!

&add_numbers call the sub with current argiment list @_. You already shifted object reference from it, so it contains only 5.

Then

sub add_numbers { # @_ = (5) my $self = shift; # $self = 5 !!! my $value = $self->{"Number_one"} ; # ERROR!
