For one of our projects we need tool for ascii2html conversion. I've done one because found only comercial solution for Windows platform.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# For Emacs: -*- mode:cperl; mode:folding -*-
#
# a2html - ascii to html convertor

use strict;

if (@ARGV != 2) {
  print " usage: a2html <source> <destination>\n";
  exit 1;
}

open SOURCE, $ARGV[0]
  or die 'cannot open source file';
open DESTINATION, ">$ARGV[1]"
  or die 'cannot open destination file';

print DESTINATION <<'EOHEAD';
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/T
+R/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
  <head>
    <title></title>
    <meta name="author" content="a2html version 0.1">
  </head>

  <body>
    <pre>
EOHEAD

$/ = undef;
$_ = <SOURCE>;

s/&/&amp;/g;
s/</&lt;/g;

print DESTINATION ;

print DESTINATION <<'EOFOOT';
    </pre>
  </body>
</html>
EOFOOT

close DESTINATION;
close SOURCE;

exit 0;

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
