Ditto regarding karlgoethebier's query on the propriety of OO here. And if OO is needed, didn't you get into trouble in the first place by violating the DRY principle? bless blesses into the current package by default anyway, so one might just have written
bless $self;
in the new() constructor definition, or maybe
bless $self, __PACKAGE__;
if one wanted to be very explicit.
But an important aspect of OO is class inheritance, and to support future inheritance capability, shouldn't one write the constructor, assuming this is a base class, as something like:
sub new {
my $class = shift;
;;
my $object = $class->initialized_object(@_);
return bless $object => $class;
}
(Of course, now you need to define an initialized_object() method, but that's life in OO-land.)

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).
