Um, that's the point.  Notice how you never 'use'd the IO::File module,
yet you called IO::File->new and created an object?

That's what his code does.  Auto-use's a module whenever its new method is
called.  Only works for classes whose file is of the same name (like
IO::File is in IO/File.pm, but IO::Socket::INET is in IO/Socket.pm unless
something's changed...).
