SPUG:Prototyping Subroutines in Class(Objects)

[Pommert, Daniel]

(At least as of 5.005) Prototypes are ignored for method calls.  Your syntax
implies that you are calling these as object methods.  Perhaps this has
changed with 5.008 that just came out.  Anybody know?

Here's a question: What is the proper way to prototype a subroutine that
exists within an object or class?

sub foo($$) {
  my $self = shift;
  my $bar = shift;
}

or 

sub foo ($) {
  my $self = shift;
  my $bar = shift;
}

Does it matter if you prototype the class object since it is passed
whether you want to or not, or is this just a matter of style?
