I hate to do just a "me too" message.  But me too.  ;-)

On the filename - I have often noticed that Perl defaults
to it's own directory in referencing files.  If you do not
(as Paul said) give the entire pathname, Perl will look in
it's own directory for the file.  So try looking in the
MacPerl directory for a blank "testfile".  :-)
