Hi Dave,
It seems that the filename isn't being passed to the script.
When I do :

  foreach my $param ( $self->config_param() ) {
print STDERR "|$param| => |$config->{$param}|\n";

I get :

|file| => ||

Re: Sarah's post - My issue is that I think this is an annotator plugin 
issue as opposed to a dumper one (I stand to be corrected on that).

Sean.
