Missing method in RTF::HTML::Converter.pm

[audiopro]

Does anyone have experience of this module?
The following line of code

my @charmap_data = $_[SELF]->charmap_reader( $_[CONTROL] );

gives the following error

Can't locate object method "charmap_reader" via package "RTF::HTML::Converter" at RTF/HTML/Converter.pm line 431, <F> line 1.

There is no mention of 'charmap_reader' method in any of the Converter.pm versions I have seen.
I may be looking at this the wrong way as I am not sure what this line is meant to do. The documents just say it works, end of explanation.
Could someone please give me a clue.

Where is the documentation for that module? I don't see it listed on CPAN. I do see RTF::HTMLConverter but it does not list that method in the documentation.

I am new to this module lark so forgive me if I am talking nonsense. After some messing, I managed to get the module to load and received this error when I tried to use it. I looked through the module to find the offending line and found it in this sub, which appears to have no name. I can't say I understand how that works either.

  sub {
    # RTF: \'<hex value>
    # HTML: &#<dec value>;
    
    my @charmap_data = $_[SELF]->[red]charmap_reader[/red]( $_[CONTROL] );

    my %charset = (		# general rule
		   %charmap_defaults,
				# and some specific defs
		   map({ s/^\s+//; split /\s+/ } @charmap_data)
		  );
    *char = sub { 
      my $char_props;
      if ($START_NEW_PARA) {
	$char_props = $_[SELF]->force_char_props('start');
	$START_NEW_PARA = 0;
      } else {
	$char_props = $_[SELF]->process_char_props();
      }
      output $char_props . $charset{$_[1]}
    } 
  };

From my limited understanding, the offending line is a call to another sub routine within this module called 'charmap_reader'. I too have found no further mention of it hence a question to you guys.

coincidentally, I started using rtf2html today and it works fine, but the output is plain text with an related to header and footer (I'm looking into that right now), is that what you are trying to use? If so, I did not get the error listed above.

Sorry Kevin - This is the documentation I found.

I am looking into ways of putting an organisation's newsletter online. They produce a paper version of it, in Word and save it as an .rtf file. I simply want to upload the RTF file to the server and have a perl script format it. This module appeared to be just what I needed but now I am not so sure.
