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.
