In the source distribution is a directory called "html" which contains
the docs in HTML format, Makefile(\.am|\.in)? and some helper scripts.
There's a make target called "searchdoc" that indexes and creates the
search for the html docs.  Makefile.am is probably the best place to
see how it's done.  It runs a program called "split.pl" to split up
the html.  That's done with regular expressions which is much faster
than using HTML::Parser, but using regular expressions is possible
because the HTML is in a standard format.  You would likely want
HTML::Parser if you can't depend on the format of your HTML source
docs.
