Acme::UNIVERSAL::new - the only constructor you ever need

Version 0.01

Acme::UNIVERSAL::new provides UNIVERSAL::new(), the only constructor you will ever need:

    use Acme::UNIVERSAL::new;

    my $q   = UNIVERSAL::new( 'CGI' );
	my $dbh = UNIVERSAL::new( 'dbi:Pg:dbname=my_db', '', '', {} );

    # ...

Just call UNIVERSAL::new() as a function, passing whatever arguments you want, and you will receive an appropriate object.

This module provides only one useful function:

The universal constructor. Pass in arguments. Get back an object. What could be easier?

There are a few other functions:

Returns a random class name, after finding everything that looks like a class beneath the given $symbol_table reference named $name_prefix. If you pass neither argument, this starts in the main symbol table.

Returns a random blessable reference.

Returns true if the given class has a constructor named new() that is not UNIVERSAL::new().

Returns a hash of symbol tables and their plain names.
