Hi Monks, I've got a problem following the upgrade from DateTime v0.61 to DateTime v0.70 my custom date module is not working anymore, apparently due to the changes to how the new() method is now called. On this current code, I'm having errors now with v0.70 and none with v0.61 : edt.pm 
package edt;

use strict;

use DateTime;
our @ISA = qw/ DateTime /;

sub new {
 my $proto = shift;
 my $class = ref($proto) || $proto;
 my %h_p = @_;
 $h_p{year} = '2011';
 my $self = $class->SUPER::new( %h_p );
 $self->{_TZONE} = $h_p{time_zone};
 return bless($self, $class);
}

sub custom {
 print "in custom module\n";
}

edt.pl 
use strict;

use lib qw( . );
use edt;

my $edt = new edt();

print "DateTime::VERSION = ".$DateTime::VERSION."<\n";

print $edt->epoch()."\n";

$edt->custom();

# dies here
$edt->from_epoch( epoch => time() );
