This is not a post about some debugging of code I have zero knowledge of perl.Recently I wanted to use a particular dictionary on my kindle ereader and I downloaded it from internet but the problem is that it is in .epub format which is not supported by kindle ereaders.But the dictionary is in 'dictionary format' and not a normal book .epub format.Whem I converted it to .mobi format by calibre it converted that dictionary .epub format to normal book .mobi format which means that that .mobi file is recognised by kindle as normal book and not dictionary. But I came across one post that dealt with the problem I have but it uses 2 script(one script using perl and other using pyhton) and I have not experience of programming.

So,assuming that you have once went through that post I need help with how to actually use that dicthtml2tab.pl file and if you can help with this problem that would be very helpful
