in thread Spiffy: How to define the constructor to take parameters

Did you try just my $self = super; instead of reflexively posting a question?
My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

    Thank you, Dragonfly, I was not aware that super was a method that could be called as a free method. However, I could have seen it if more closely reading the docs.

    For the record, here's what I changed about the constructor: 

    sub new() {
  my $raw = pop @_;
  my $self = super;

  $self->raw($raw);
  return $self;
}
