I only propose it because most constructors also allow for values to be passed in, which keeps to the Principle of Least Surprise.

I don't like constructors that are also intializers - constructors that are initializers make MI harder than it should be. I do have some coding guidelines (posted somewhere on this site), and there I explain I don't initialize objects from the constructor for exactly that reason - making MI harder (of course, if your object is anything other than "just a blessed reference", MI is doomed anyway).

And sure allowing arguments to the constructor, and having the constructor call the initializer if arguments are given works, but it makes the constructor less simple, and hence, less elegant.

The "everyone else does it" argument doesn't work for me, or else I had used blessed hashrefs for objects instead of just a blessed reference.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
