I have the following problem with object oriented Perl:

I have a package with a method connect 

sub connect() {
  my $self = shift;
  my ($ip, $port) = @_;
  # more code
}

[download]

When I call this method from another script via: $test->connect($ipaddr, $portno);

I get the following error: 

Wrong number of parameters: expected 0, got 3.
Foo::connect('Foo=HASH(0xca3df0)', $ipaddr, $portno) called at test_co
+nnect.pl line 10

[download]
Note: The error gives the value of $ipaddr and $portno, but I don't want you to hak me :)

I have looked at every doc I can think of and even using sub connect(\$$$) {} doesn't help. Where am I going wrong? My new constructor works perfectly.
