I was fiddling with ePUB recently, and it's basically glorified HTML in a zipped directory structure.

The book you mentioned seems to be that one downloadable for free here https://pdl.perl.org/content/pdl-book-toc.html (and I doubt that the fonts are inaccessible)

So you could go and try a PDF to HTML converter and build your own ePUB.

There are even free online services for PDF to ePUB, can't comment on the quality.

I suppose you'll have to adjust some parameters afterwards but I'm confident you have the necessary skills ;)
