# LibTmux::Workspace::new

**Workspace Manager concept example** A working example of the core library. It can change without notice.

- **Module:** LibTmux
- **Package:** LibTmux-Workspace
- **Language:** Perl
- **Kind:** method
- **Source:** https://github.com/libtmux/libtmux-perl/blob/352715a4fa66a96eed7763b90daaa536aa2f121d/packages/workspace/lib/LibTmux/Workspace.pm#L47
- **Page:** https://libtmux.org/en/perl/latest/workspace/reference/libtmux-workspace-new/

```
sub new($class, %args)
```

`new(config => $hashref)` validates and copies a `libtmux.workspace/v1` configuration. No I/O occurs. Sessions contain named windows with nonempty pane arrays. Each pane requires literal `command` arguments or an explicit `shell_command`. Environment values inherit from workspace, session, and window, with pane values taking precedence. All configuration errors throw [`Config`](/en/perl/latest/workspace/reference/libtmux-workspace-x-config/).
