I abandoned html2lout---and Perl---many years ago when I switched to
Python. I didn't even know html2lout was packaged for Debian (or for any
Linux distro).

I've attached readonly.pm (gzipped 3.6K); you could try putting that in
the same directory as Lout.pm and it might work.

I'd recommend finding or writing a new program to convert from HTML to
lout. (I haven't written one---what I'd really like is lout2html:-)
