List::Compare asking for two references

Lotus1 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

This test script of List::Compare is returning an error:

Must pass at least 2 references to &new: at compare_lists.pl line 8.

I tried B::Deparse and it says syntax OK. I checked cpan> i List::Compare to verify I have the latest version (0.55). Any suggestions?

use warnings;
use strict;
use List::Compare;

my @lines1 = qw( test1 test2 test3 );
my @lines2 = qw( test1 test2 test4 );

my $lc = List::Compare::new( \@lines1, \@lines2);

Try `List::Compare->new`.	[reply] [d/l]
