[htdig] please clue me in! doc2html.pl

[Steve Y. <sy...@fr...>]

Ok, I'm going mad trying to get pdf's indexed.  I've got things configured 
to the best my little brain can fathom but rundig -vvv tells me the 
following for each pdf:

Deleted, no excerpt: 50/http://www.domain.com/download/xxxx.pdf

It appears that the files are being read:

pick: www.domain.com, # servers = 1

I've confirmed that pdf2html.pl and pdftotext both work from the command line.

doc2html.pl just spits out garbage in between the html tags when I try to 
convert a pdf on the command line with it.

I have the following line in htdig.conf:
external_parsers: application/pdf->text/html 
/path/to/convertor/htdig/scripts/doc2html.pl

I've also tried to call pdf2html.pl directly in the conf file to no avail.
Any ideas???  Am I missing some config. somewhere?  I'm not getting any 
errors in the doc2html log file so I dont know where to look...
