Hi!
If you use cpan from Debian you usually wind up trying to read online
documentation through it. Unfortunately cpan can't find the
html2text.pl script eventhough it is installed using the Debian
package 'html2text'.
Please see the attached patch for a quick fix of this issue.
Cheers,
Andreas Marschke.
