That doesn't follow. That error indicates that l2hconf is expecting
whatever used it to have set up an ignore_commands sub, which your test
doesn't do.
I'd recommend using the perl debugger (perl -d latex2html foo.tex)
to step through and see if you can isolate where things are going
astray. See perldoc perldebtut for help.

Does the file on the website you linked to exactly match yours? There's
a part of it that says it is site specific. If there were a place you
could put your l2hconf.pm and latex2html on the web, I'd recommend you
ask at http://perlmonks.org/?node=Seekers%20of%20Perl%20Wisdom if using
the debugger doesn't help you.
