I'm not sure to understand: what do you call the ".lp screen"? the =
source
of the program? If it's the case, you're using it the wrong way: you =
must
execute Html2Wml using a Perl interpreter. If you are under Windows,
you can use ActivePerl[1] which provides a complete Perl environment
for free. Then you'll have to install the modules needed by Html2Wml.
For what I know, this is very simple using the ppm command and =
installing
a new module is as simple as typing "install ModuleName".

Nearly all the packages needed by Html2Wml are already installed. The
only one missing is Text-Template. Launch "Perl Package Manager" and
type "install Text-Template".

Now go to the directory where you have extracted Html2Wml and type
"perl html2wml.cgi". If you get Html2Wml help screen, it works. Now you
can create a .bat file to simplify calling Html2Wml, for example (for=20
Win2k):

@echo off
c:\perl\bin\perl c:\path\to\html2wml.cgi %*


The file form.html is an example showing how to call Html2Wml as a CGI.
This require you to have a webserver with CGI support, for example=20
Apache[2].
You just have to drop Html2Wml in a cgi-bin directory and change the URL
in form.html accordingly. This is straighforward under Unix, but I don't=20=

know
under Windows.
