Re: Re: Trying to learn how to build a module

Thanks! All three answers helped out. I built my constructor correctly and added the shifts into the two functions. I now get the desired output! Is there a benefit to using a constructor and object reference over just using the module and calling the functions directly Module::funct()?

I can probably find the answer in perltoot.

Objects have associated instance data as well as methods. This means that you can create many objects and they can each have a different set of data associated with them. In your example, each object could have a different name.
