The perl script is very easy to use, you just run it with a single
argument that is the name of the configuration file. If you are
moving the location of the configuration file (as is the default in
version 2.7 compared to previous versions) then this must be done
manually. What was the problem that you had and why did you mention
/etc/wwwoffle?

The cache and the HTML template files remain in
/var/spool/wwwoffle. It is only the configuration file that has moved
into /etc.

The answer is in the error message, it can't find the HTML template
pages, but I don't know exactly why this would be. It could be that
you have the old version of the pages where the new ones should be, or
a permissions problem.
>From your other e-mail I would suggest that the permissions are
incorrect. What are the permissions on the following directories?
/var/spool/wwwoffle/html
/var/spool/wwwoffle/html/en
/var/spool/wwwoffle/html/en/messages
/var/spool/wwwoffle/html/default
/var/spool/wwwoffle/html/default/messages
/var/spool/wwwoffle/temp
They all need to be readable and writable by the user that the
WWWOFFLE server is running as.
