Your perl version seems to be a bit old. Although we formally only require Perl 5, 5.002 may have gone untested. The problems definitely look Perl related.
As far as I recall 5.002 was buggy and we rapidly went to 5.004. (Something similar happened in RedHat Linux 5.2's Perl.) We would recommend upgrading to Perl 5.6.0.
There seems to be two types of problem:
The first one is
780 print $htmlout
781 ("</TABLE>\n", "<P>\n", text2html($text, 1), "</P>\n");
and the rest are like
1234 print $txtout mywrap($indent1, $indent2, $text), "\n";
I the 1st case, we have nearly the same construction without the line
break in line 784, and that seems to work. You might try joining up
the lines.
In the other case, perhaps add parentheses around mywrap..."\n"
Another guess is that it might require &mywrap there.
Otherwise we'll need to bring in the real Perl experts.
I'm pretty sure that what we have is valid Perl, and that some versions of Perl have choked on valid Perl. Upgrading is the best answer.
