Since mobigen is itself not very well documented, what is really required is an open source way to convert "content" into MobiPocket format without DRM. Doing this in Perl would make sense, but it needs to be packaged as a single command. What mobigen takes as input is either a single .html file or a single .opf file, and that may be sufficient to cover "content" for an open source tool also.

I'm not sure if MobiPocket realizes that a mobigen-lite (without DRM support) is all that is typically needed, but an open source solution would be better anyway.
