I see some modules that call "new" like:
my $test = new Some::Module;
and some like:
my $test = Some::Module->new;
Is there a difference and what is the "recommended" way?
Definitely go with
my $test = Some::Module->new;
The indirect object notation is ambiguous and many Perl developers
discourage its use. IIRC, this also made its way to Perl documentation
as well: all the core modules were updated to get rid of these kind of
expressions in its source, documentation and tests.
I'm not sure it's already in 5.8.8 docs but " don't use it [the
indirect notation]! " is what you will hear from many people.
