I'm trying to use the Zsh helpfiles utility to generate files for "run-
help".

I'm running

man zshbuiltins | col -bx | perl /usr/share/zsh/4.3.9/Util/helpfiles
    or
man zshbuiltins | colcrt - | perl /usr/share/zsh/4.3.9/Util/helpfiles

Er, do you know which one you are running, or in what situation you arerunning each of them?


And do you get output (and is it correct) from col (and from colcrt)?

The next step would be turning on various debug options to perl; aquick glance at `perl --help` suggests -T, -u, and/or -W might behelpful. Try any or all of those, and send the resulting output to thelist, if the problem remains.
