Re^4: Thoughts on new 'class' OO in upcoming perl

The same way you prevent people calling bless( \%params, $your_class ) directly. You don't/can't.

Technically correct, but it ignores one little detail: Calling `->new` is the normal, default way to create an object. Calling `bless` directly is not. There's quite a difference between expecting people to not instantiate an object in a way which 99% of classes consider to be an unsupported backdoor "here be dragons" approach (`bless`) and expecting them to not instantiate it in a way which 99% of classes consider to be the standard way to do it (calling the `->new` method).
