NAME
    Acme::Constructor::Pythonic - import Python-style constructor functions

SYNOPSIS
        use Acme::Constructor::Pythonic qw(
            LWP::UserAgent
            JSON
            HTTP::Request
        );
    
        my $json = JSON();
        my $ua   = UserAgent();
        my $req  = Request( GET => 'http://www.example.com/foo.json' );
    
        my $data = $json->decode( $ua->request($req)->content )

DESCRIPTION
    In Python you import classes like this:

        import BankAccount from banking

    And you instantiate them with something looking like a function call:

        acct = BankAccount(9.99)

    This module allows Python-like object instantiation in Perl. The example
    in the SYNOPSIS creates three functions `UserAgent`, `JSON` and <Request>
    each of which just pass through their arguments to the real object
    constructors.

  Options
    Each argument to the Acme::Constructor::Pythonic is a Perl module name and
    may be followed by a hashref of options:

        use Acme::Constructor::Pythonic
            'A::Module',
            'Another::Module' => \%some_options,
