I found this in the AuthorizeNet.pm

----------------
Try the instructions above, then enable test mode. A test order should
complete.

Disable test mode, then test in various Authorize.net error modes by
using the credit card number 4222 2222 2222 2222.

Then try a sale with the card number C<4111 1111 1111 1111>
and a valid expiration date. The sale should be denied, and the reason
should
be in [data session payment_error].
-----------------

I'm trying to grab:

[data session payment_error]

And so far I'm not getting any data out of it.

Should I be seeing something there?
