How can I initialise File::Samba's data structures in the constructor of my Samba::LDAP class?
The simplest answer is: don't write a constructor in your Samba::LDAP class. Just inherit the constructor, and let it do what it does. If you need to initialize something in your Samba::LDAP class, write a sub "init". Then you can write:
my $obj = Samba::LDAP->new(args needed by File::Samba)->init(initializ
+ation arguments)
But if you insist in doing multiple things (creation and initialization) in one sub, do something like:
sub create_and_initialize { # 'new' is a bad name; it does more.
my $class = shift;
my $arg = pop; # Initialization argument for my class;
my $obj = bless $class->SUPER::new(@_), $class;
# Initialize the object using $arg.
return $obj;
}

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).
