That is, if you want to store something about your class as a whole (instead of about a single object). This data is then inherited by your subclasses and can be overridden. . For example: . Pere::Ubu->mk_classdata('Suitcase'); . will generate the method Suitcase() in the class Pere::Ubu. . This new method can be used to get and set a piece of class data. . Pere::Ubu->Suitcase('Red'); $suitcase = Pere::Ubu->Suitcase;
