Re: Attributes with new to manage parameters

Instead of using a ton of attributes, why not do something like

sub new : Attrs( 'name', 'nick', 'age', 'gender' ) {
  ....
}

That way, the other attributes aren't clobbering potential other uses, like what Catalyst does.

My criteria for good software:

Does it work?
Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
