Correct. The newer Athenas have the newer Perl, whose syntax has
changed. I made initial corrections to the infoagents latex2html on the
eleventh, but there were some required modules that had the problem as
well; the Perl compiler didn't catch that, but the code still wouldn't
run. I made those final corrections today (the twentieth) and actually
tested on a LaTeX file - all is well (for infoagents at least) and this'll
propagate out tomorrow for general use.
