Static method in Perl

To define a static method in a class in Perl, you can use the sub keyword followed by the keyword sub itself with the class name and method name separated by double colons (::). A static method can be called on the class itself instead of an instance of the class.

Here's an example of defining a static method in a Perl class:

package MyPackage;
sub my_static_method {

    # ...method implementation...

}
1;

In the above example, the my_static_method is a static method defined in the MyPackage class.

You can call this static method as follows:

MyPackage::my_static_method();

Note that you don't need to create an object of the class to access the static method.
