==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 <tt>param.pm</tt> and <tt>args.pm</tt>

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

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

In the file <tt>params.pm</tt>, 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.
