Stefan was giving you a hint that you likely need to pass a table
name in [perl tables="sometable othertable"].
It would work *some* of the time because you may have previously opened
the table in some pages. If you have not opened the table previously,
and total-cost uses a table -- it is almost for sure to use products --
then it will fail.
