Re: Class::Multimethods namespace collusion

How would you solve this?

Not have the object constructor as a multi-method?

Can you explain in more detail what the problem that you're trying to solve by having new() as a multi-method is? It's not clear from your example.

Thanks for replying. Let me try to paraphrase: `## FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES, code below will not run!! use strict; use SWFAuto::Button; use SWFAuto::Text; my $buttonA = SWFAuto::Button->new(); my $buttonB = SWFAuto::Button->new("I'm a button"); my $textA = SWFAuto::Text->new(); my $textB = SWFAuto::Text->new("I'm a text"); ## SWFAuto::Text::new is called 4 times!` [download] Basically this is the usage of the modules. The constructor "new" is overloaded in both classes. And, both have the same argument lists. And then whichever you "use Module;" last, its constructor gets called. Well, at least the typeglob came very handy this time for me!	[reply] [d/l]

## FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES, code below will not run!!
use strict;
use SWFAuto::Button;
use SWFAuto::Text;

my $buttonA = SWFAuto::Button->new();
my $buttonB = SWFAuto::Button->new("I'm a button");

my $textA = SWFAuto::Text->new();
my $textB = SWFAuto::Text->new("I'm a text");

##  SWFAuto::Text::new is called 4 times!
