arb/perl mismatch

When you encounter the error message

Incompatibility detected between installed arb build and perl version:
* arb macro playback will not work and
* other arb perl scripts wont work either.

Solution:

  • install another arb build which is compatible with your perl version
    • see perl version info in above table to guess which version could work
    • call perl -v to detect your perl version
  • (otherwise see comment here)
