Conclusion:
The arguments are not optional. This seems to be supported
by your error messages... I think...

Sorry, don't have the time to test it for you, but I think
this is probably the source of one of your problems (there
may be more). I know I saw similar error messages when I
first played around with Mac::StandardFile.

Advice:
Always a good idea for newbies to check out the '.t' files
to see how these modules should be called.
