Perl module for HTML import into FrameMaker

FrameMaker::FromHTML is a perl module for conversion of HTML to FrameMaker MIF format.
It has bugs, and depends very much on the HTML concerned being in correct format. An example script
which comes with the module (htmltofm.pl) illustrates usage. NOTE that if you want to use the script, you need a copy of HTML-Tidy available, to ensure HTML clean-up, and the script (not the module) is written for a Windows environment.
Don’t rely on this module without checking input and output for yourself.
Module is available from CPAN and should be being mirrored shortly
