so i'm trying to subclass Business::OnlinePayment so that my apps can just call the new subclass. here's the ( broken ) constructor code: 
package Unleashed::AuthorizeCard;

use strict;
use base qw/ Business::OnlinePayment /;

sub new {
        my $class = shift;
        my $obj = bless( {}, $class );
        my $realObj = $obj->SUPER::new( "AuthorizeNet"  );

        return $realObj;
}

[download]
I thought that the call to $obj->SUPER::new() would pass the arg ... and it *sort of* does, because here's the error message: 
[ proton ] :: perl -MUnleashed::AuthorizeCard -e '$foo = Unleashed::Au
+thorizeCard->new();'

unknown processor AuthorizeNet (syntax error at (eval 2) line 1, near 
+"use Unleashed::AuthorizeCard="
) at -e line 1

i know that i could achive similar results with: 

sub new {
    my $obj = Business::OnlinePayment->new( "AuthorizeNet" );
}

[download]
but i thought ( mistakenly? ) that the call to SUPER would do the same thing .....
