Ha!  What version of Perl are you using (run "perl -v")?  It looks like Perl is interpreting a print() statement differently.  Try making this change (adding backslashes before the square brackets in create_hash_table):

-    print "\nstatic const struct HashTableValue ${nameEntries}[$count] = {\n";
+    print "\nstatic const struct HashTableValue ${nameEntries}\[$count\] = {\n";

Let me know if that fixes the problem.
