Name
bless
Synopsis
bless $ref, [classname]
Looks up the item pointed to by reference
ref
and tells the item that it is now
an object in the classname
package—or
the current package if no class name is specified. It returns the
reference for convenience, since a bless
is often the last thing in a
constructor function. (Always use the two-argument version if the
constructor doing the blessing might be inherited by a derived
class. In such cases, the class you want to bless your object into
will normally be found as the first argument to the constructor in
question.)
