Summary: crash when running a droplet

Initial Comment:
I observe crashes when a normal error should occur.
This happens only with a droplet.

To repeat use this little script:

#!perl -w
use strict;
use Mac::Conversions;

my $testfile = "adisk:where:the folder:and:filename:probably:wont:exist.txt";
my $conv = Mac::Conversions->new;
$conv->macbinary( $testfile );


__END__

save as droplet

sometimes the result is understandable:
# Can't call method "ioFlFndrInfo" on an undefined value.
File 'Festplatte:Projekte:MacPerl5.6.1b1:lib:Mac:Conversions.pm'; Line 159

mostly though there is a crash:
(I thought it was only if MacPerl wasn't already running but
couldn't reproduce)
