" Nothing had worked" meant that the resulting text files were filled with non-ascii gibberish and bore no resemblance to the pdf file.
In fact, pdftohtml works just fine. Trouble is, it's an executable. A condition I did not mention in the original post, was that this needs to be done by a script within a website's CGI directory. The server is configured not to allow the running of executables in cgi-bin. I do not have admin rights on the server and can not change this.
So, more specifically, I am looking for a perl based solution to this problem.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
