Yes, there probably should be a close(INP); before the system("rm -f ...");
call. It's not overly critical, though, as the file does get closed
when the script exits. The only side-effect is that the rm will only
unlink the ".ps" file, and it isn't actually destroyed until the file
is implicitly closed on exit.
The arguments to the ln command should definitely not be reversed.
The whole point of the ln command is to add a ".pdf" suffix to the
temporary file name generated by htdig, to keep acroread happy with the
file. In Perl, $ARGV[0] represents the first argument, not the program
name (unlike C & sh). The arguments to the script are described in
http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#external_parsers
When you get a "not Parsable" error, it's because htdig can't find
a parser or converter for the Content-Type of the document, so it's
not even calling the acroconv.pl script. You probably don't have the
external_parsers attribute defined correctly in your htdig.conf, or else
your server isn't tagging PDFs correctly.
