Here is the list of changes to perlWWW:
o mail2html
- Support for traversing forward through a mail thread.
- Follow-up/referenced messages for a given message are
listed by subject (with links) at the end of the message.
- Prev/Next links now show subject of prev/next message
- Support to include user text in the index page.
- Only 'From:' is shown in index page by default.
- Option to put current date at the end of the index page.
- Fixed an internal bug in computing mail threads.

o makehomeidx
- If '-' is specified as the passwd file via the -passwd

o man2html:
- Support for processing output from 'man -k', i.e. a
keyord search. Links are created for all manpages
listed, and the manpages are sorted by section.
- Can now properly detect manpage references containing
