Very cool script. I did notice that either CGI.pm or html2cgi hiccup a bit with lists, whether or not the <li> tag is closed with a </li>.

The following HTML chunk 

<html>
<head>
<title>There is no title</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li>First item
<li>Second item
</ul>
</body>
</html>

[download]
becomes 
use CGI "-no_debug", ":html", "comment", "header";
print header,
 start_html("-title" => "There is no title"),
  ul (
   ul (
    li (
     "First item ", 
    ), "\n",
    li (
     "Second item ", 
    ), "\n",
   ), "\n",
  ), "\n",
 end_html,
;

I have not run this back through CGI.pm to see the output, but it seems that something is adding an extra <ul> in there. (It adds an extra one for each <li> tag.)
