Re: choosing and/or overriding defaults for a sub argument

Your code is fine, but you can try this if you want:

my ($self, $file) = ($_[0],$_[0]->{file}||=$_[1]);

Unfortunately, that only sets `$file` to the second argument passed if `$self->{file}` isn't already set (to a true value, but I assume any filename passed will evaluate to true), which doesn't seem to be what princepawn wants (which is to set $file to be the second value passed if passed, or to be the value of `$self->{file}` otherwise).
