    Resolved sub new or functions to initialise a class * RESOLVED but vote if you wish*

    I am in the process of designing a class.

    I can either write an overloaded function to initialise a class or I can overload sub new.

    The advantage of the function is I can return a value indicating whether the initilaisation was successful.
    The disadvantage is the function will have to be called every time a new instance of the class is created. With sub new the initialisation parameters are in the dimentialisation (dim) statement.

    What do you reckon
