Oops, you're right.  How embarrassing -- confusing Perl and PHP is like
confusing, well, any beautiful thing with its cheap imitation.  I could
blame Google, but I have to own up to my own careless reading of its

I think PDFLib would allow you to inspect the PDF, but you'd have to
write your own corresponding HTML.

SWISH::Filter::Pdf2HTML looks promising, though.
