compiling PBib in Linux
Hi I'm new at this, so please be patient.
I have compiled PBib in Linux and it's showing errors.
runing PBibTk.pl from cli:
$ PBibTk.pl Missing control char name in \c at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7/PBib/ReferenceConverter.pm line 453, + within pattern Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7/PBibTk/LitRefs.pm line 14. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7/PBibTk/LitRefs.pm line 14. Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/bin/PBibTk.pl line 63. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/PBibTk.pl line 63.

errors from "perl Build test" were extensive and ended up like the above with:
Missing control char name in \c at /home/rd/usr/share/bibtex/Bundle-PBib-2.08.01/bin/../lib/PBib/Re +ferenceConverter.pm line 453, within pattern Compilation failed in require at /home/rd/usr/share/bibtex/Bundle-PBib-2.08.01/bin/../lib/PBib/PBib +.pm line 310.
