Well, cool! How do I this from parrot?

I've been trying things along the lines of:

.sub _main
   .local object Cat
   .local object felix
   newclass Cat, "Cat"
   P2 = Cat
   S0 = "init"
   callmeth
   felix = P0
   #...
   end
.end

... But haven't figured out the magic formula yet
That code above gives:

   Method 'init' not found
           in file '(unknown file)' near line -1

(If anyone can post a working example of the code
above I'd really appreciate it!)

Sincerely,
