How to take code reference to constructor?

Question

I have following code:

my $coderef = ${MyModule::MyTool->new};

but when I try

$coderef->();

i got error:

Not a CODE re         


        

Answer 1

This should work regardless of which package holds the new:

my $coderef = MyModule::MyTool->UNIVERSAL::can( 'new' ); 

So that if MyModule::MyTool does not implement their constructor, you can still get it's handle.
