my $first_name = ODG::Metadata->new(

The ODG::Metadata class is used to hold all of the metadata for a single field. It does not define the position of fields use ODG::Layout for that. ODG::Metadata simply describes the field metadata.
When used with ODG::Layout and ODG::Record, this class allows name based accessors to data and efficient processing of row based data.
