That's nice for a short parameter list, but it could get bluky for large lists (like the HTML::Template constructor). I prefer something like this:
{
my @PARAMS = qw( foo bar baz );
sub new
{
my $class = shift;
my $in = shift;
my $self = { map { $_ => $in->{$_} || '' } @PARAMS };
bless $self, $class;
}
}
The above is more self-documenting, because all the parameters taken are listed above the subroutine and can be easily broken into multiple lines. It also doesn't mix the parameter definitions with other code.

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).
