one question

i'm new at this whole perl thing and all, but i found Monarch after
doing a net search.
i need to make an HTML archive of a mailing list (i still have to find
out what the list software is).
but... can Monarch be used to convert a mailing list into HTML? lets say
, by converting a mailfolder that contains all the mails form the mail
list?
any comments? some help with the implementation and use of perl would be
welcome too.
