sounds like a shell problem. This file doesn't use a shebang, it should be evaluated by the shell, and start perl itself.

Edit, looking closer, does your perl even work at all?

Yikes, never seen such a thing before. This makes latex2html unusable in fish sell.

I have reported this upstream: https://github.com/latex2html/latex2html/issues/38
Comment by Johannes Wienke (languitar) - Tuesday, 25 July 2017, 20:49 GMT
The upstream authors replied that this is caused by a flag in the PKGBUILD:

> This is caused by "--enable-wrapper" in the archlinux build script.
> It looks like latex2html is behaving as expected, so I will close.

So this needs to be fixed in the arch package.
