	As an interesting alternative for the other way around, has anyone
looked at this (``perl -MCPAN -e shell'' makes life good):

     NAME
          HTML::FormatNroff - Format HTML as nroff man page

     SYNOPSIS

           require HTML::FormatNroff;
           $html = parse_htmlfile("test.html");
           $format_nroff = new HTML::FormatNroff(name => 'trial',
                                                 project => 'MyProject');
           print $formatter->format($html);
