the author of this revision merely said "fix warnings in perl 5.14"

i don't have any working latex that would work with latex2html, so i
can't claim to know whether this is a reasonable.

roughly speaking, with abandonware like l2h, we merely go by the
licence.  gpl implies (to us) that anyone can hack out a bug and
re-release.
