Yup, you had the right idea; unfortunately the synopsis code for
Bio::Tree::Compatible is wrong.
I've now fixed it in svn.

I didn't get quite that error; instead I had an issue with TreeIO: for
whatever reason it is only returning one tree from your input file (ie.
$t2 is undefined).

I therefore got "Can't call method "get_nodes" on an undefined value [...]"

Can someone look into/confirm that?
