Yes, notice the single quotes surrounding the file name.  The error
suggests that you are passing that entire string as a single filename.
And that filename isn't valid.  Are you perhaps surrounding all three
names with quotes?  I think maybe you need to pass an array or hash to
Perl.


This is how the command should be called:
  swish-e -f "this is a single file" "this is a second file"

The error suggests that you're calling SWISH-E like this:
  swish-e -f "this is a single file this is a second file"
