But those situations are all covered by the #= concept: call the new method passing the right argument. So for a JPEG that can take a string, a filehandle, or an image, it works: $myjepg #= $mystring; $myjepg #= $myfh; $myjepg #= $myarray; .... all of which would be as valid (or not) as $myjepg = JPEG->new($mywhatever); > If you want automatic initializers But again, I don't see that the idea requires automatic initializers. It's little more than a precompiler shorthand. It would simply rearrange the arguments a little bit, then compile or not based on if the same rules as always. -Miko
