Description

If you have a newer version of ActivePerl, you may face problems when compiling help files for your Symbian OS application.

There are two options:

• Switch to an older version of ActivePerl (the officially supported version is v5.6.1 build 635) or
• Change the files param.pm and args.pm

These two files can be found in your SDK installation's Epoc32\tools\perllib path. In the file args.pm, change the following line (# 688)

$self->_iSpecArray->{$aName}= New CArgsSpec($aName, $aDefault, $aPattern, 
 $aExclusions, $aMandatory, $aRepeatable);

to

$self->_iSpecArray->{$aName}= CArgsSpec->New($aName, $aDefault, $aPattern,
 $aExclusions, $aMandatory, $aRepeatable);

In the file params.pm, search for the word "New" and replace it with "foo->New()"; for example, if there is a function "New CLogs()", change it to "CLog->New()".

Take backups of the original files.
