$obj = new Foo(...)

syntax generate a warning with Perl5.002 ?

It's becoming worryingly common.

I very much disagree - I write in a style that is as
close to Objective C and NeXT standards as possible, so
I *always* write my method calls this way. In fact, I
consider it the *standard* way to write a object oriented
code ;-)
