Line 5

Creates a new Net::BitTorrent object. Lets OS pick a random port and opens sockets (TCP and UDP) on all available hosts.

Line 6

Attempts to create a new Net::BitTorrent::Torrent object. Defaults to current working directory for storage.

If there's a problem loading the .torrent, an error will (probably) be Carped by Net::BitTorrent::Torrent.
