=head1 NAME

Object::Composer - Simple helper to load classes automatically and instantiate them

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Object::Composer;

  my $neo = load 'My::Person', name => 'Neo', job => 'Hacker', age => 'NA';

  # OR ( if you don't want import functions into your space )

  use Object::Composer ();

  my $morpheus = Object::Composer->load( 'My::Person', name => 'morpheus', job => 'warrior', age => 'NA' );

  # OR ( You can call it as Class Method or as Function in Object::Composer's namespace )

  my $morpheus = Object::Composer::load( 'My::Person', name => 'morpheus', job => 'warrior', age => 'NA' );


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a simple helper class that helps loading class automatically, instantiate an object and return it. 
It assumes that 'new' method is already defined in the loaded class, which is what it calls to instantiate the object.

croaks if theres any error while loading or instantiating.


=head2 C<< load $class, @args >>

This is the only function / method defined. It loads the package / module, calls "new" on the class with arguments you pass, and returns the instantiated object.

  $obj = load 'LWP::UserAgent', agent => 'My Own Secret Agent';

  # OR

  $obj = Object::Composer->load( 'HTML::TreeBuilder' );
