Peter, you can just use the above concept also to covert from HTML to PDF. I have no idea where the limits are though.
Just use perl to open the HTML file in OpenOffice and then make OpenOffice print it to PDF. I just tried it with a google page, and as long as the images are local, no problems should arise.
If you want another way you might try the following:
- Download HTMLdoc, which is GPL'ed, and install it.
- Download HTML::HTMLdoc from CPAN and install it.
- Do some perl magic to get what you want...
- ...Unknown step...
- Profit!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
