Hello all,

    The following thread was part of a reply written a while back.

    I didn't notice anyone filling in the blanks here. As a
practical exercise, I'll create an object oriented version of
File::Basename::fileparser(). I'll call the module
MyFileBasename.pm.

    When writing the new constructor, do I just ignore $class
or is there some better (or more preferred) way to write it?


package MyFileBasename;

use File::Basename;

sub new {
    my $class = shift;
    my $self = {
        file_name   => undef,
        base        => undef,
        path        => undef,
        type        => undef,
    };
    bless $self;
    $self->initialize( @_ ) if @_;
    return $self;
}


TIA,

Charles K. Clarkson
