Re^7: Perl "new" command

1. I just stated originally, that there is no built in new function in Perl.
2. I totally agree with you, that Perl's approach is very dangerous, but it doesn't change the fact, that - by the documentation I read - a constructor is simply a sub, that returns a blessed reference.
If not so, please point me towards the correct documentation, I am not a seasoned Perl veteran.

a constructor is simply a sub, that returns a blessed reference. Note that's not what you said before. There you said: I thought a constructor is any routine that calls the bless operator. which I find a silly and confusing term. BTW, just because something is mentioned in the documentation doesn't mean 1) it's useful, 2) it's true, or 3) I agree with it.	[reply]
