the function 'catfile' is not exported by default (aka into the 'main' namespace) so
you either have to fully qualify it:
File::Spec::Unix::catfile()
Or import it explicitly (assuming it is allowed to be exported)
use File::Spec::Unix qw( catfile );
Or it appears you can do the more simple,
use File::Spec::Functions;
Notice also that you should *not* be using the 'Unix' module directly but use the
File::Spec generic module and let it pick whatever module is correct for the
particular system where the app runs. From the docs:
" The module appropriate for the current OS is automatically loaded by File::Spec. "
