Ok, you can probably solve this by removing -w or by adding a "my $olen=0;"
before the while loop (I did that now before I committed this change).

... the minor fact that the script doesn't actually use that README file (the
argument name in the script is slighly misleading, I know, but it once
actually was a readme file ;-)) when I run it: it uses the docs/MANUAL file
like this:

  /usr/bin/gnroff -man ../docs/curl.1 | /usr/bin/perl ../src/mkhelp.pl -c \
  ../docs/MANUAL > hugehelp.c
