NAME
       Perl::Critic::Policy::ClassHierarchies::ProhibitOneArgBless - Write
       "bless {}, $class;" instead of just "bless {};".

AFFILIATION
       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION
       Always use the two-argument form of "bless" because it allows
       subclasses to inherit your constructor.

           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.
