Unless you want to modify the scripts (or need the very latest versions), I suggest starting with the Windows binaries: mobiperl-0.0.26-win.zip

However, the problem may be that your MOBI file is using MobiPocket compression (mobigen's -c2 option) which is not supported by mobi2html. I have seen empty HTML files from mobi2html on such files, and another way to confirm this would be if your DRM-free MOBI is readable by MobiPocket Reader but not readable by FBReader.

Most DRM-free MOBI files use simple (-c1) compression, but some use the -c2 option. I have no idea what fraction of DRM-laden MOBI files use the higher compression option.
