Well, there is a prototype problem, but it isn't that $ will force new to only accept one value, but rather that prototypes and OO Perl don't mix. Perl simply ignores prototypes on methods. Also prototypes are broken*, don't use them.

"Broken" and "don't use them" is a bit extreme. But I will agree with the general sentiment that they should not be used as a matter of course; they should be reserved for a handful of special cases where they help more than they harm. -- Jonathan "Dataweaver" Lang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
