The trick is I want the method be called implicitly as a part of new.
It is almost as having a hidden subclass of Two with a call to
post_constructor in its BUILD method.
I think this is exactly what you want,
sub BUILD {
shift->post_constructor;
}
in Two will work as you expect.
That will be called even if a subclass adds another BUILD method,
but of course 'post_constructor' will be overridable normally (i'm
guessing that's why you don't want to just use BUILD?).
Thank you Yuval,
However I want to avoid putting the call into each BUILD that is the
last in the hierarchy. If I decide to subclass from Two, I have to move
the call manually. The idea behind my question is to be able to check if
all constructors worked "correctly", for example consumed all named
parameters.
