[R] Rdconv.pm errors while installing R

[William D. McCoy]

I have just compiled and installed R-patched on a Sparc 20 running
Solaris 2.5.1.  The compilation and installation went fine except for
the message:

Bare word found where operator expected at
/usr/src/R/R-patched/share/perl/R/Rdconv.pm line 1491, near "$txtout
txt_header"   (Missing operator before txt_header?)

I get similar messages for lines 1390, 1405, 1420, and 1448 in
Rdconv.pm.  I have Perl 5, but it's old (5.003) and maybe that's the
problem.

I get the same message when installing packages when their docs are
processed.  My question is whether anything is likely to be wrong with
the documentation produced this way.  As I run R and read the html
help pages, I don't see any obvious problem.

Have others had this problem?
