in reply to Perl and Shell (text conversion)

On a tangent: RTF::TEXT::Converter is quite broken and has been abandoned for a long time; it will likely never be fixed; Unicode/UTF-8 incapable and has some surprise bugs like omitting lines that contain just a zero.

I would recommend checking out Pandoc. I haven't used it but have been planning to get to it soon and convert a bunch of my own code if it's as good as I expect.

Update: typo fixed.

    Kudos for mentioning Pandoc.

    But I'm wondering why it's necessary to use an intermediate Perl wrapper when starting a Haskell tool from Bash?

      Surely not necessary. Just a nice normalizer, I suppose. Can't even build pandoc on my current work setup so... :(
