I was able to get the script running by adding
'perl' to the path. Thus, the command line
read
perl txt2html.pl sample.txt > sample.html
This did not work on the original box I
was working on, but on a different box, which
makes me think it is something to do with
the system setup, maybe
I downloaded a script that can convert a plain text
file to HTML, called txt2html.pl . It starts
with #!/usr/bin/perl, which should mean I can treat
it as an executable at the prompt, after I've
performed a chmod to make the file executable.
I did this and at the prompt, I type
txt2htm
