This is what I tried now: I looked at latex2html to see where it calls l2hconf.pm, it is at lines 120:130 ------ from latex2html ------ # Local configuration, read at runtime # Read the $CONFIG_FILE (usually l2hconf.pm ) if($ENV{'L2HCONFIG'}) { require $ENV{'L2HCONFIG'} || die "Fatal (require $ENV{'L2HCONFIG'}): $!"; } else { eval 'use l2hconf'; if($@) { die "Fatal (use l2hconf): $@\n"; } } --------- end latex2html cut --------- so to test this, from cygwin shell I typed just the command that calls l2hconf as follows: ---- start test ----- $ perl eval 'use l2hconf'; if($@) { die "Fatal (use l2hconf): $@\n"; } Fatal (use l2hconf): Undefined subroutine &main::ignore_commands called at l2hconf.pm line 1216. Compilation failed in require at (eval 1) line 2. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 1) line 2. ----- end test -------- Ok, so the real problem is really at line 1216 in l2hconf.pm. so I went to line 1216 there, and this is the content starting from line 1216: ---- line 1216 to line 1217 &::ignore_commands( <<_IGNORED_CMDS_); htmlrule # [] # \$_ = join('',"

",\$_) ----- end lines 1216 to line 1217 ---- I can include the whole file if needed, but this is out of the box, did not touch it, and here is the text of the this file on this URL, someone posted it for a problem: http://www.mail-archive.com/latex2html AT tug DOT org/msg00372.html so, any ideas what to do now? I am very bad at perl, having writting may be 10 lines in perl all of my life. and this thing should work as is, unless something wrong with perl build on cygwin? any more information I can provide on this? thank you, Bill __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
