They'd better not, because there's no code in T::MO that gives you a default
constructor. Perhaps you're using fake_new() instead?

Let me put it another way. In the absence of you explicitly saying "Pretend
that you've loaded this module and pretend that these subroutine references
correspond to these method names", how is it possible that T::MO can provide
all of the appropriate methods that your code wants to use later in the test
file, perform the appropriate behavior, and return the appropriate values?
It doesn't do that. What in the documentation leads you to believe it does?
If I can clarify the behavior, I will.
