How do I create a Perl package

Creating a Perl package is straightforward. A package in Perl is a way to encapsulate related functions and variables. This is useful for organizing code and reusing it in different scripts.

Example of a Perl Package


        package My::Example;          # Define the package name

        use strict;                  # Enforce strict variable rules
        use warnings;                # Enable warnings

        sub new {                    # Constructor method
            my $class = shift;
            my $self = {};
            bless $self, $class;     # Blessing the reference
            return $self;
        }

        sub say_hello {              # Method to say hello
            my $self = shift;
            return "Hello from My::Example!";
        }

        1;                            # Return true to indicate successful loading
