I think this is exactly what you want,

sub BUILD {
  shift->post_constructor;
}

in Two will work as you expect.

That will be called even if a subclass adds another BUILD method,
but of course 'post_constructor' will be overridable normally (i'm
guessing that's why you don't want to just use BUILD?).
