I believe you'll find a difference between asking a database to show and
asking a document to show.  The AppleScript is asking the database to show
(which I think means the complete database).  The Perl is implicitly asking
the document to show (it's failing to specify what thing in FileMaker
should show, which is implicitly document 1 (in FileMaker:  in many apps
such things are errors)).
