Re: •Re: Constructors Without ->new()

Now now, never say never. Especially not when it comes to Perl.

It's quite right that Constructor->foo will resolve to Constructor()->foo, but that's not the only way to call a class method. Both

Constructor::->foo

and

'Constructor'->foo

will be "class method invocation".

I even prefer to use Constructor::->foo over the one without colons, for reasons explained in Re: Capitalized subroutine names and packages.

Ahh, OK. Cool. I don't like having to call with an explicit hashref though. Maybe make it take a list and turn into a hash if it's not already a hashref. Maybe it does that already... dunno...
