OK, decided to try your suggestion to replace the "post_data()" routine with 
the perl program that can already talk with the payment processor, so I've 
created:
Payment/CDMI.pm which contains
sub CDMI { hack of authorizenet.pm }
and:
Payment/post_cdmi.pm which contains
sub post_cdmi { perl to/from payment processor }

CDMI contains the "post_data()" statement you mentioned which is now 
"post_cdmi()"

I had to manually edit variable.txt for
MV_Payment_Mode   CDMI    Payment
...as CDMI did not show up as a payment mode in the UI.

Processing checkout returns an error as I would expect,
(Payment process): There was an error accepting payment: Real-time charge 
failed. Reason: No account id
Credit Card Information: No account id

Both my modules contain debug statements such as:
::logDebug("CDMI CDMI start");
::logDebug("CDMI post_cdmi start");
and these are not showing up in the debug/error logs.  That would seem to 
indicate that the new payment module is not running at all?  Now do I get it 
to run?  When I restart IC I see the successful "Require" messages so IC is 
finding them but does not seem to recognize the payment mode.

THank you for suggestions,
Glenn.
