I once took a look into the source of pdftohtml and porting it to Perl shouldn't be too difficult. .. BUT ... it's based on a call to ghostscript which does the hard part. And I doubt it can be done otherwise, I can't imagine anyone reimplementing PostScript in Perl. So if > is configured not to allow the running of executables in cgi-bin. Then you should start looking for a new server. I doubt it's possible to find an open solution not based on ghostscript. (Except you find a Web service doing the hard part for you)
Cheers Rolf
updateWell can you run executables outside cgi-bin ? And is ghostscript installed?
