[Pdx-pm] Changing contructors w/o breaking compat.

[Joshua Hoblitt]

It supports two different syntaxs but the hash style form is different then what I would intuitively expect.

I see this alot - so much that I'm calling it the conventional OO constructor sytax for perl.

$sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr => 'www.perl.org',
			      PeerPort => 'http(80)',
			      Proto    => 'tcp');

Turning the params into a hash ref will certainly work but IMHO if it wasn't my class it would be confusing.  I did like the idea of havingto double check the docs for every class constructor it see if I need to add {}'s.

$sock = IO::Socket::INET->new({PeerAddr => 'www.perl.org',
			      PeerPort => 'http(80)',
			      Proto    => 'tcp'});

I most have missed a message because I never saw where this was mentioned.  Maybe it's because I have the flu. :)
