The version of maketitle.pl in R 1.5.0 does not work with
version 4.004 of Perl, so I use maketitle.pl from R version
1.4.1 instead. Can I expect this to cause any problems, for
instance when I build a package?

Hmm, building R with perl version 4 is not possible at all
... maketitle.pl being the smallest problem you will run into. Did you
mean version 5.004?

The output of maketitle.pl from 1.4.1 should be fine ... only the code
is now much better (7 lines of code versus more than 70).

Yes, version 5.004
Thanks.

There is another script that only works with Perl 5.005: Rdindex
Is it save to use the old version for this script too?

(Sorry, I should have checked first. Could have done this in one
message.)
