there's some error handling too: my $obj = My::Object->new or die "$0: whoops: " . My::Object->error; and there's a little bit of useful code for handling either hashrefs or hashes of named args in the constructor. that's code which is irritating to cut and paste over and over, to be sure. what else would be useful but general enough? clone(), equals(), to_string() come to mind..
