Perl::...rgBless(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay so the manual name is Perl::...rgBless(3pm), and the policy bestie in question is Perl::Critic::Policy::ClassHierarchies::ProhibitOneArgBless — and its whole thing is: Write "bless {}, $class;" instead of just "bless {};". Periodt. 💅

🌸 AFFILIATION 🌸

This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution. It's giving core-distribution royalty, no cap 👑.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Always use the two-argument form of bless because it allows subclasses to inherit your constructor. That's the tea, and it's iconic ☕✨

sub new {
    my $class = shift;
    my $self = bless {};          # not ok
    my $self = bless {}, $class;  # ok
    return $self;
}

---

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. That's it, that's the config vibe 🫶
