I've been working on a perl script to convert tons word docs to html pages. I am still working on the script but I'd like to know if anyone knows of any great conversion program for this type of tasks or would know where to find a perl script that would do just this?
I've searched google and couldn't find any perl script that does just this. I found a bunch of conversion programs but their not free.
Even if you know of a great shareware program let me know. I'm open to anything. Just looking to save time instead of converting with only Dreamweaver and search and replacing.
Thanks

my old boss at school used RUBY to do something like what your talking about....he said instead of editing 100 pages of source he could put all the info in a text editor and ruby would generate the webpage for him...i dont know how to do it myself but...it sounded a bit relevent...ill actually look into it myself sinced you asked

There are several *nix commandline tools.
wv comes to mind first: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wv.htm for the Windows build version.

Ruby is a reflective, object-oriented programming language, and perl is more of a procedural programming language....you can use perl and ruby together....though ive never used either language my understanding of perl was that it was sort of like SQL...turns out my suspicions were wrong...i did a bit of homework on perl this morning its features include the use of variables, expressions, assignment statements, brace-delimited code blocks, control structures, and subroutines...ruby from what i read and understand seems to be a bit more like PHP from its features.
