I think I'd go for either a HTML to postscript/pdf converter,
http://www.hypernews.org/HyperNews/get/www/html/converters.html has a few options. Or I'd try to convince my browser to print the document for me via perl automation - if you want to use IE, you might be able to do this via the Win32 modules. IIRC there was some kind of interface for mozilla via perl, but I can't seem to find it right now.
I must say that the direct HTML -> pdf/ps route has been less than satisfactory for me right now (I only tried a few options, mostly java ones, YMMV), mostly because the HTML rendering turns out much uglier than the print-output of mozilla/IE, so I'd suggest you try printing via a mature graphical browser first.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
