The UNIVERSAL class offers three methods for every class: isa, can, and
VERSION. It also provides a place for you to write methods available to
every class.

A constructor is merely a means of creating an object. Some languages
require this method to be named "new". Most people do the same thing in
Perl, but there's no reason it has to be.
The "speciality" of the object constructor in Perl is no different from
any other language. Create and return an object.
