It's trying to look like a Perl built-in when in fact it's just a method of the RT::Users class.The above code is equivalent to writing my $users = RT::Users->new(RT::SystemUser); i.e. call the method new() of the class RT::Users with an argument of RT::SystemUser. The important thing here is to realize that in Perl, you can call your constructor whatever you like - though it's a nice gesture to stick to open standards like using "new" for it ;-) - and that you have two equivalent notations for method calls.
