error on latexmk on 008 and 009

latexmk -norc -e '$chapter=008' -r ../latexmkrc -g "hpmor-chapter-008"

Latexmk: Stopping because executing following code from command line
    $chapter=008
gave an error:
    Illegal octal digit '8' at (eval 9) line 1, at end of line

Book is ok, chapter 1 to 7 are ok, 10 or 13 are ok too. For Chapters 8 and 9 I have this error on my computer.

The instructions could be clearer. In this case, you should write:

latexmk -norc -e '$chapter=8' -r ../latexmkrc -g hpmor-chapter-008

That is why the instructions say N the first time and NNN the second: the first time a number is needed, and the second, the full filename. The number must be in decimal, and in Perl (the language in which latexmk is written), numbers starting with 0 are assumed to be octal.

I'll clarify the instructions.
