It isn't obvious to me what the error is, although commenting out line
2331 definitely causes the error to go away.
What version of perl?
It works correctly in the current 5.8.4 (it has installed all the CRAN
packages), but I think I have seen something similar in 5.8.0. Making
that
print $latexout &latex_link_trans0($blocks{"name"});
will probably solve it for you.
