my $class=ref($proto)||­$proto;

I understand the reasons to avoid this construct.

But if you avoid it, then you need to replace it with something. Unfortunately, although I often see this construct derided, I very seldom see suggestions for what to replace that line with (even when I come out and ask for it). The most straightforward replacement is unacceptable to me. See Re^2: A few Perl OOP questions. (disparaging) for why.

I also consider the objections to this to be rather minor in impact in a lot of practical situations and appreciate the "sloppy" advantages of $obj->new() in a lot of pracitcal situations. So I consider this construct to be a net win for simple OO Perl classes in many cases.

I also provide an alternative to it in (tye)Re: Private Class Methods.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
