Re^2: Variables in Common parent class

All generally good advice, but for the constructors in the children, I'd prefer:

    sub new
    {
        my ($class, %params) = @_;
        my  $self = $class->SUPER::new(%params);
        $self->{block_name} = $params{'block name'};
        return $self;
    }

This ensures that the parent constructor is called as a method (and thus obeys inheritance).

There's no need to re-bless $self.
