Ah. Does this mean that you have now done it? (Sorry, I notice that

correctly)

Ah, so you haven't done it yet.

Ah, so this would make the rest-of-the-file the __DATA__ to be read
and processed. Interesting! I'm not entirely sure whether this would
work, since HTML::TextToHTML already makes use of the DATA handle to
read in its own configuration -- I can't remember what happens with
multiple __DATA__ sections in different files.
Still, it certainly can't hurt to try.
