I guess he over-idiomized: I use the above frequently to preinitialize
objects:
sub new {
my $context = shift
my $class = ref($context) || $context;
bless {
a_number => 42,
some_text => 'I have a value',
@_
}, $class
}
That way, one can do the following:
my $obj = TheClass->new(some_other_value => 57,
a_number => 12);
Now, some OO_Bigott would most probably jump right into my face for
allowing some user from the mob to add 'some_other_value' to our holy
moly class object, but in most cases I don't consider that a problem -
the OO_Bigott jumping, that is ;-)
