Provide additional functionality.  For example, as I commented before,

    $tx->validate_md5( $secret );

or even just to override submit to include the md5 check.

Or other methods for, say, logging or wrapping up a transaction, for example, as in my
case, in a SOAP response.

That would add the ability to validate the md5 returned in the
response.

The current method for loading processors complicates subclassing a
bit.

Is there an advantage of doing:

    my $tx = Business::OnlinePayment->new( 'AuthorizeNet' );

vs.

    my $tx = Business::OnlinePayment::AuthorizeNet->new;

Which would facilities subclassing.
