Hello,

I can't really find a good place to put bugreports to, so I send one here:

There's just the following error reported from perl 5.6.1 in 
latex2html 2K.1beta (1.59):

;.....;.Nested quantifiers before HERE mark 
in regex m/^($FILE|planet-style-c++<< HERE )$/ at /usr/bin/latex2html line
12118.

The same happens in line 7803.

The filename contains "++" that is interpreted as a part of the regular
expression. Quoting the filename ("\Q$file\E") solves the problem.

Another problem are "~" in the LaTeX-code Lyx (www.lyx.org) generates. It
uses "\textasciitilde{}" for the tilde and latex2html does not recognize them,
so they abandon. This makes all C++-destructors to constructors: quite
confusing. 

For first bug was easy to handle, but this one?
