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

or look for the section "Indirect Object Syntax" on perldoc perlobj.
