Need help with Perl interface

I'm using the WWW::Salesforce::Simple module and I can login and read objects but, I can't create anything.
 
My code is:
use strict;
use WWW::Salesforce::Simple;
use SOAP::Lite +trace => 'debug';
my $sforce = WWW::Salesforce::Simple->new(
        'username' => $ARGV[0],
        'password' => $ARGV[1]
);
my %j_task = (type => 'Task', Subject => "Contact Jeff", Description => "Description Placeholder");
$sforce->create(%j_task);
 
The output is:
C:\Perl>perl create_lead.pl username password

I figured it out.  It looks like I did not have the salesforce::simple module installed completely. 

I also noticed that the output I posted shows that I was not even passing the correct username/password so I couldn't log on.
