NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Moose::ProhibitNewMethod - Don't override Moose's standard constructors.

VERSION

version 1.05

DESCRIPTION

Overriding "new()" on a Moose class causes a number of problems, including speed issues and problems with order of invocation of constructors when multiple inheritance is involved. Use "BUILDARGS()" and "BUILD()" instead.

AFFILIATION

This policy is part of Perl::Critic::Moose.

CONFIGURATION

There is a single option, "equivalent_modules". This allows you to specify modules that should be treated the same as Moose and Moose::Role, if, say, you were doing something with Moose::Exporter. For example, if you were to have this in your .perlcriticrc file:

    [Moose::ProhibitNewMethod]
    equivalent_modules = MyCompany::Moose MooseX::NewThing

then the following code would result in a violation:

    package Baz;

    use MyCompany::Moose;

    sub new {
        ...
    }
