Thanks for the quick responses from David and Gilles.
The problem definitely fits your "wp2html is returning no output"
suggestion. Further experimentation confirms what I saw before: By
extracting the command line that doc2html generates and pasting it into the
command line, wp2html has no problem generating the html version of the
wordperfect file. But doc2html's attempt to use that same command line to
pipe back the results fails.

Either doc2html.pl is not recognizing the file as WordPerfect or wp2html is
returning no output.
In this case I think the problem is with the MIME type, doc2html.pl looks
for
application/Wordperfect
while your server is sending
application/wordperfect
I think the solution is to make the checking of MIME type independant of
case.
Change the lines in try_html from
if (($MIME_type =~ m/$set->{'mime'}/) and
($Magic =~ m/$set->{'magic'}/s)) { # found the method to use
to
if (($MIME_type =~ m/$set->{'mime'}/i) and
($Magic =~ m/$set->{'magic'}/s)) { # found the method to use
And the same in try_text.
I will be releasing a new version of doc2html very soon, I hope these are
the last changes I have to make!
