You're trying to handle this all through a GUI, I assume, as you mentioned
'highlight' and 'click'
Perl may not be the best way to handle this sort of thing...
I've seen Java programs that do really rudimentary HTML, but in the long
run, it's almost easier to open a file in MSWord, change the file and do
'save as HTML' (or WordPerfect, whatever your prefered word processor is)

The only thing that I can think of that may even give you a basis to start
from is HTML::FromText (which I've never used), which is supposed to build
HTML from text files...
