Class Methods

Create a new object. Any arguments passed to "new" will be passed on
to the "_initialize" method. Returns a new object.
Instance Methods

Initializes a new object. This method is a stub by default, you should
override it as appropriate.
Note: "new" expects you to return $self or raise an exception. See
"_croak", and Carp.
"_croak"
Raise an exception using "croak" from Carp, eg:
$self->_croak( 'why me?', 'aaarrgh!' );
May also be called as a class method.
$class->_croak( 'this works too' );
"_confess"
Raise an exception using "confess" from Carp, eg:
$self->_confess( 'why me?', 'aaarrgh!' );
May also be called as a class method.
