Class::MethodMaker initialization of default values

[justanyone]

Hi!!

I'm using Class::MethodMaker to construct a simple class with two vars. I want to initialize one var and leave the second as a defaulted value.

I think this means I need to do this:

use Class::MethodMaker '-sugar';
package Simple;
make methods
    get_set       => [qw(a b)],
    new_with_init => 'new';
sub init { 
    my ($self, %args) = @_; 
    #... what goes here?
}
------
my $simp = new LogSimple(a => 4);
print("a=" . $simp->a() . ", b = " $simp->b() . "\n");
----------

How do I default the value of b to something? Class::MethodMaker has somewhat documentation on this, and I'm confused. My wife seems to think I'm not stupid (despite my opinion)... in which case this confusion might be something someone else has encountered...

Any hints? The perldoc / module documentation is somewhat limited.

Thanks for any assistance here,
Cordially yours,
