Is this what you're looking for?
class MattTest {
has Str $.string;
submethod BUILD (:$string) { ## submethod BUILD is the constructor
## :$string is a named argument
"string"
say "passed $string";
}
}
my $test = MattTest(:string('abc'));
# Check to see the class is the right kind of thing:
say $test.WHAT
# Output the class as a readable string
say $test.perl;

Subject: Error calling bless in non-default constructor
I'm trying to use a non-default constructor for a class under Pugs 6.2.13, like
so
class MattTest {
sub new (Class $class : Str $string) {
say "Passed $string to the constructor for $class" ;
return $class.bless ;
}
}
my $test = MattTest.new('abc') ;
This is failing with the following output:
D:\Apps\Perl6>pugs ConstructorTest.p6
Passed abc to the constructor for MattTest
*** No such method in class MattTest: "&bless"
at ConstructorTest.p6 line 5, column 12-25
Am I doing something wrong, or is bless currently unimplemented in Pugs, or is
something else wrong. I have more or less copied the code for the constructor
from the test in oo/construction.t.
