This is very odd:
You have established that wp2html works from the command line.
You have checked that doc2html is definitely opening wp2html.
Yes? Your evidence is direct and conclusive? Certain, positive?
Then the problem must be elsewhere:
It looks odd to me that the server is delivering a page with the title of
"barf.html"
and a MIME type of application/wordperfect5.1.
Not necessarily wrong, but definitely unusual.
The command line string you gave includes this for the input file:
-i '/web/html/labsup/pub/custody.wpd'
This is a WordPerfect document and so wp2html converts it.
But is NOT the file name which doc2html.pl passes to wp2html.
htdig gets the page from the server, puts the contents of the page into a
temporary file,
and passes the name of that temporary file to doc2html.pl, which in turn
passes it to wp2html.
You need to establish that "barf.html" is the file you think it is.
