Hi Ezra,

thanks for your report.

I am in contact with the texi2html people and they are very responsive
and helpful. They have already provided a version for me that no longer
fails if perl does not exist or if it does not work for texi2html. They
might even fix texi2html to work with older perl versions (the texi2html
docs claim that any version of perl5 works, which is currently not true;
but that's not that important for me; the main point is that the teTeX
build/install no longer fails).
