really? there are provisions withing genbki.pl that are supposed to 
provide a proper error message(and would have likely helped to find the 
issue in that case as well):

die "Version not specified or wrong format.\n" if !defined $major_version;

however due to the way the current checks are executed you won't 
actually see that error...
