I took the doc2html.pl which you sent me, changed the line my $CATDOC = '/usr/local/bin/catdoc ';
to the location of my catdoc and tried it from the command line. It works! This is on RedHat Linux (either 7 or 8 I don't know) and Perl 5.8.0. However, if I put in a space after catdoc as you have, then it fails with the message ! ERROR Unable to execute /opt/local/bin/catdoc for Word (catdoc) document I don't think I can you help any further. -- David Adams Information Systems Services Southampton University ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zachary Jenks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 3:40 PM Subject: Re: doc2html --> catdoc > Well thats good to know, if I can get it working that is.
