    Im not looking to cheat, just a push in the right
    direction.

    This is assignment has to do with objects, classes,
    packages, classes.

    There is a text file that is comma delimited that we
    will have to get data from.

    The methods and what they will do are all layed out
    for us. I am stuck on creating the constrctor method,
    becasue the instructor gives us this:

    The field format of the file is structured like this:
    "Car Number":"Driver Name":"Sponsor":"Owner":"Crew
    Chief":"Car Make":"Mini Biography":"Team Name"

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    To accomplish this project you must create a class and
    a Perl application to access the methods and data you
    create in your class.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifications for Class:

    Name: Nascar.pm

    Description:
    A package for displaying and searching a Nascar
    driver's information.

    Attributes:
     ->Title - String title of our data (eg. Winston Cup
    2002 Drivers). The constructor method would be a good
    place to initialize/create this attribute. An
    attribute is simply a key/value pair in the anonymous
    hash that makes up your object.

    _______________________________

    So to this I am very confused and I wrote for my code:

    package Nascar;

    sub new{
            my $obj = {};

    $obj => {Title} =""; #Is this initilizing the
    attribute?

    bless $obj;

    }

    I dont know why I am just not getting this stuff.
    Please help me.
