Reference needed

McA has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all,

I had a reference to a very good article explaining why you should use

Class->new();
[download]

in favour of

new Class();
[download]

And now I can't find it anymore. (Argghh)

Can someone point me to an article explaing the subtle difference?

Best regards
McA
