I noticed this too...  But I tracked the new method back and it appears 
to actually do the right thing...  Depending on the inheritance of 
SOAP::Client, that is...

In other words, almost all the $obj->new methods in Lite.pm do the 
following...

sub new {
   my $self = shift;
   return $self if ref $self;
   ...
}

So the new method isn't really creating new objects, which is definitely 
confusing...  :)
