I have this class, and it works OK:

class Term::Curses {
    has $.y is rw;
    has $.x is rw;

    has $!stdscr;


    submethod BUILD() {
        #setlocale(0, "");

        # TODO: use newterm() instead of initscr()?
        $!stdscr = initscr();

        cbreak();
        noecho();
        nonl();
        intrflush($!stdscr, 0);
        keypad($!stdscr, 1);

        wrefresh($!stdscr);
    }


    ...
}


I'd like to define my own new(), so I can call Term::Curses.new(:!cbreak, :nl) or similar, basically to specify which functions get called at this time. But it doesn't work correctly. Seems that initscr() is getting called, but maybe $!stdscr isn't being set during self.bless()? Can you see what I'm doing wrong?


    method new() {
        #setlocale(0, "");

        # TODO: use newterm() instead of initscr()?
        my $stdscr = initscr();

        cbreak();
        noecho();
        nonl();
        intrflush($stdscr, 0);
        keypad($stdscr, 1);

        wrefresh($stdscr);

        self.bless(*, :$stdscr);
    }
