[l2h] $* no longer supported error

[Seb]

Hi,

I'm using the Debian sid distribution packages.  I'm getting the
following error:

---<--------------------cut here---------------start------------------->---
$ latex2html -local_icons -white -show_section_numbers -image_type png -bottom_navigation -notransparent -t "GMT -- Technical Reference and Cookbook" GMT_Docs
$* is no longer supported at /usr/bin/latex2html line 10592.
Error: No such image type 'png'.
       This installation supports (first is default):
---<--------------------cut here---------------end--------------------->---

And nothing else is reported after that, regardless of the verbosity
level setting.  As far as I can tell, the message about '$*' not being
supported comes from perl, but could this be causing the error?  Thanks
for any input.
