I didn't realise doc2html.pl hadn't been tested under DOS. I have got it
to work at the DOS command line under the following conditions:
1. Must use cygwin perl (#!e:/cygwin/bin/perl.exe -w). Activeware perl
doesn't work as the script doesn't find the input pdf file for some reason.
2. I hardcoded $TMP = "d:/tmp"; for certainty
3. I hardcoded $LOG = "d:/conv.log"; and $Verbose = 1;
But still when it's invoked from htdig nothing appears in the log, and the
pdfs aren't indexed.
There appear to be a number of lines in the script that windows may have
problems with, e.g.
$RM = "/bin/rm -f";
