part of the document and some of them are not. [For instance image.pl is not.]
Only the .pl files are not needed for the finished job itself.
However, these .pl files are retained since they are very useful for further development of the site. e.g. images.pl retains information about what images have been created, so do not need to be made again if you make any changes and rerun the job;
labels.pl is useful if you want to make links into this site, from another web-page being made with latex2html . It tells you the values of all NAME="..." attributes of the anchor-points within the document; that is, places that can be linked-to.
images.log is retained, since this can be useful when there have been errors in the images, or if you want to check what packages etc. were needed;
contents.pl, sections.pl, index.pl, internals.pl etc.
are generated when the pages are part of a "Segmented Document".
This is similar to LaTeX's \includeonly{....} mechanism,
whereby a set of pages may use indexing/auxiliary information
from other runs using a different part of a multi-file
document.
Can (or does or should)
latex2html
tell which files are important? [I ship my HTML document somewhere else i.e. uploads it to
an server.]
Right now my solution to that problem is starting at
index.html
and then see what it links in recursive way. [I have implemented it yet but by reading the HREFs it should be possible to figure what is important.]
Only .html .css and image files are needed for a completed site. The other files (e.g. the .pl ones) are for other purposes, as described above, while the site is still under construction, or for combining the site with other sites (labels.pl).

Hope this helps,
