jmanning2k, I am interested in your design thoughts, as well may be others, please post additional information. One other aspect that is not illustrated here but will be in my final post is the implementation of persistence by way of Storable.

Additional Information:

** The Zoo object will act as a mapper object to all other created object and will be persistent (Storable) thus maintaining its state (knowledge) of all Animals.

** The Animal objects will be persistent thus maintaining their state.

** The Zoo object when loaded must be able to re-animate (load) all previously known Animals.

Questions:

** How does this additional information change or affect your design?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
