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>
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.)

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).
