The standard is to name the sub "new" not "New".

And personally I dont think the || ref trick is bad, and the document you are studying explains it in detail. But broquaint is correct it is the subject of debate around here on occassion. And hes correct that it can bite you, but IMO normally doesnt.

update: Also, use the syntax that tadman shows, not the indirect object syntax my $obj=new Class as it will bite you eventually.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
