[l2h] cropping bars - solved!

[Christian Mensing]

Dear all, dear Shigeharu,

thanks to Shigeharu TAKENO the cropping problem was solved!

While  l2hconf.pin defines only 
 $DVIPSOPT .= " -E";
the created l2hconf.pm says
$DVIPSOPT = ' -Ppdf  -E';
After removing "-Ppdf" in *l2hconf.pm* and placing it in my case into
/usr/local/lib/latex2html
the cropping problem was solved.

Fortunately I could revert to perl 5.00404 solving also the problem 
caused by perl 5.6.1 which generated following message:

Error: No such image type 'gif'.
       This installation supports (first is default): 

and stopping execution...
Thank you again for your valuable help!
