Well, that was the problem: I am not familiar with CPAN, so I had followed ONLY the instructions for Debian, and had ignored the rest, since they all appeared to be other systems or other distros.
This time, lit2mobi DID work, and DID convert a .LIT file properly, but only if I either had the .LIT file in the same directory with lit2mobi, or specified a full path.
Obviously, I'm missing something else. Otherwise, shouldn't this be able to be placed into /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin to make it usable from anywhere? The Makefile didn't seem to be of any help, since there was no "install" and all the individual rules appeared to be Windows related (e.g file names ending in .EXE and a reference to Win32) even though the package I downloaded was the tar file, NOT the zipped "win" file.
Thanks again. Progress!
P.S.: Unfortunately, I have never taken the time to lean Perl, since AWK was always my thing and then my career took a different turn, anyway (now I'm a missionary helping other missionaries with their computers, along with everything else I do). So, please forgive my complete unfamiliarity with some of these things.
Thank you for your help, AND your patience.
