NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ClassHierarchies::ProhibitOneArgBless

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;
}
