And
tye, back at ya. Did you understand the responses you got to that posting, or the thread in this posting?
The "alternative" is the simple approach:
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $self = { ... };
bless $self, $class;
}
None of the extra cut-n-pasted stuff to make
$instance->new do anything in particular, because as I said in my quoted item above, it's wrong to two-thirds of the audience, and therefore is dangerous.
If that's confusing to you, I wish you could say what you're missing in a different way, because I'm not getting it.
