bless

NAME

bless - create an object


SYNOPSIS

bless REF,CLASSNAME

bless REF


DESCRIPTION

This function tells the referenced object (passed as REF) that it is now an object in the CLASSNAME package--or the current package if no CLASSNAME is specified, which is often the case. It returns the reference for convenience, since a bless() is often the last thing in a constructor. Always use the two-argument version if the function doing the blessing might be inherited by a derived class. See the perlobj manpage for more about the blessing (and blessings) of objects.
