Thank you Thelonius for breaking it down and making it plain. Your two examples feel far more familiar to me than the sample that left me head scratching. One coding buddy of mine wrote back to a piece I sent from a set of slides from a talk from one of the YAPC's to say: "This is obfuscated code. I refuse to waste time on obfuscated code." I guess its cool to build a constructor on a single line and all. But I wasted an hour looking at this, when "bless { @_ }, $class;" would have immediately communicated to me. Cool as that was, and with all due respect to Andy Lester for his fine work on a very useful tool, but this certainly brought home some of the lessons about coding style I've ben reading in McConnell's "Code Complete", of late. (And my appreciation to which ever monk it was who sent me to that reading recommendation).
