I have a class that normally takes a list of named arguments. I also want to be able to handle a single argument.
class Foo { multi method new (Class $class: Str $date) { return $class.bless(date => $date); } submethod BUILD ($.date, $.time, $.offset) { # some error checking here } } my $foo = Foo.new('2005-05-30'); # Is this the correct way to handle my scenario? My explicit 'new' method should only handle the case of a single argument - otherwise the 'new' method inherited from Class will handle a list of named arguments. My explicit BUILD submethod is called, regardless of which 'new' method is called, correct? Cheers, Carl
