Hmm. Interesting angle. But ircc (its on my home computer) the code went more like

sub new {
   my $proto=shift;
   my $class=$proto || ref $proto; 
   my $self=bless {},$class;
   if ($class eq $proto) { #class call
       $self->init_rand();
   } elsif (@_) {
       $self->init_cross($proto,shift);
   } else {
       $self->init_mutate($proto);
   }
   return $self
}

So the dreaded line was/is present. But you are correct I did/would comment this.
