While I am sure that will work...I have never seen it with parens after
the new.
As the docs say, there is nothing special about C< new >. It is only a
convention that it is the usual named used for a constructor. As any
other methods without arguments, it can be invoked as
Some::Module->new
or
Some::Module->new()
But on the hand, it the constructor has parameters, you will
forcefully need the parameters
Some::Module->new($arg1, $arg2)
because
Some::Module->new $arg1, $arg2
(or something like that) is illegal. This is different from
subroutines invoked without parentheses around their arguments (which
are legal if the sub definition was seen before so that the
interpreter knows it refers to code). But that has to do with
requirements of Perl syntax.
Cheers,
