As stated below I got it to work with my example :-p

Correct me if I'm wrong but calling $self->SUPER::somesub calls a sub in the
functional context which will not pass the "calling class" along with it.

Well it worked in ActiveState on my windows box with out the "this test does
not exist" error.......I see your point about this. There really is no
"instance" of either the sub class or super class and as you said it's being
called in the functional context. It is essentially a wrapper around
Test::Harness that uses the same sub routine calls.

I know that in this case that everything could work out to be fine and dandy
but other cases it could turn out to be a mess. I guess I just got lucky
this time :-p
