    Blech. 
    my $obj=Class->new;

    Is much nicer to read IMO, especially when arguments are needed for the method call. (but thanks for pointing that out.... Learn somthing new every day.)

      some time ago i saw code like this: 
      my $obj=Class::->new;

        This makes sure that the method new from the class/package Class is called. This makes just a difference if in the caller package is a sub called Class. See e.g. 
        H:\>perl
package Class;
sub new {
  print "hello\n";
}
package main;
sub Class {
  print "not in Class\n";
}
Class->new();
^Z
not in Class
Can't call method "new" without a package or object reference at - lin

        Here main::Class is called by accident...

        Best regards,
