    Christopher> How can I store $options in a Properties object?

Your blessed hash reference can store things just like any other
hashref.


sub parse_options {
  my $self = shift;

  ... your code ...
  
  $self->{'_options'} = $options;

  return $self;
}


See perldoc perltoot and perldoc perlboot, both of which should cover
this usage.


If you want to be really OOPy, you might also want to look into
Class::MethodMaker for writing accessors automatically.  Also look
into the AppConfig module which handles parsing .INI-like config files
for you.
