In this line of code what is 'new' doing?
my $users = new RT::Users(RT::SystemUser);
Mathew,
This is called the indirect object notation. It is invoking the method
'new' of the package 'RT::Users', with arguments ( RT::SystemUser ).
It is not recommended anymore. Most code today uses the
straightforward and unambiguous construction
my $users = RT::Users->new(RT::SystemUser);
See this link
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlobj.html#Indirect-Object-Syntax-indirect-object-syntax-invocation%2c-indirect-indirect
or look for the section "Indirect Object Syntax" on perldoc perlobj.

Adriano Ferreira.
