My guess is there is no 'use doc prefs' parameter available.  Check the POD
documentation that comes with the glue for QuarkXPress (open it directly,
or use the "show_glue_pods" script).  Most likely your problem is that you
need underscores instead of spaces in the parameter name.  Also, you will
probably need to call enum() for enumerations (e.g.: $t->open($file,
use_doc_prefs => enum('no')).

See the POD for Mac::Glue for more info.
