This error means that perl is interpreting
GetAliasInfo FH, 0;
as
FH->GetAliasInfo(0);
when you really mean
GetAliasInfo(FH, 0);
Try adding the parentheses to make it explicit.
It might also be that &GetAliasInfo hasn't been exported into your
namespace. In that case, do Mac::Files::GetAliasInfo(FH, 0);
Or Mac::Files::GetAliasInfo(*FH, 0);
There are so many choices! =)
