| Thanks a lot for your help! Now I used the latest version (2002-2-1) but
| it still cannot recognize the version number "10.18.4". I attached the
| whole compilation text below.  Note the Perl version I use is ActivePerl
| 5.8.8.817. And the Netpbm version I use is 10.18.4.  I tried also to use
| Nebpbm version 10.27.0 (the current version) but got the same errors. 

I have not installed latex2html on my MS-Windows XP machine, but
I also have ActivePerl 5.8.8.817 on it. My perl does not occur
any error to the following code which is made by the part of 
config/config.pl cheking pnmcrop:

----- From here (test.pl) -----
# 
$msg = "pnmcrop: Using libnetpbm from Netpbm Version: Netpbm 10.18.4";
if ($msg =~ /(^|\s*)Version.*\s([\d\.]+)\s*([\n\r]|$)/is) { $vers = $2; }

# test1
print "(vers)=($vers)\n";
if ($vers >= 8) { print "Passed by TRUE.\n"; }
else{ print "Passed by FALSE.\n"; }

# test2
$vers = "10.18.4";
if ($vers >= 8) { print "Passed by TRUE.\n"; }
else{ print "Passed by FALSE.\n"; }
----- To here (test.pl) -----

So, I don't know the reason why your perl said

| Argument "10.18.4" isn't numeric in numeric gt (>) at config\config.pl
| line 1279

Please try to test "test.pl" above.
