Sorry, user error. I didn't have Class::Accessor::Fast installed so I
got the message:

Base class package "Class::Accessor::Fast" is empty.
  (Perhaps you forgot to 'use' the module which defines that package first.)

I added the 'use', which got rid of that error, but then complained
that Class/Accessor/Fast.pm couldn't be found in @INC, so I suppose I
assumed that the lack of 'use' was an issue. (Though I did think it
was a bit un-Perlish.)

Thanks, and sorry for wasting your time,

Nick
