G'day Bod,

"Thanks for your wise words and useful link."

You're very welcome.

When you get around to reading the documentation to which I linked, you'll see the very good reasons for avoiding indirect syntax. You will still encounter new Some::Module on CPAN and elsewhere; I just write Some::Module::->new() and move on. Code like new Some::Module->method() can be difficult to understand and, in my opinion, should never appear in modern Perl code. As the doco explains, Perl itself can have trouble parsing indirect syntax code.

[By the way, you might want to take a peek at my response to pryrt's reply.]
