How can I convert the output of `git diff --color-words` to HTML?

For working with text that is prose, stored in plain text, I really like the output of git diff --color-words, but I don't like the way it is dependent on ANSI terminal escape sequences. I'd like to get output that I can use to turn into HTML, some kind of user-friendly raw character display, or to generate statistics on the differences between the two files.

I prefer Perl (including CPAN), but would settle for pretty much anything.

This question asks about converting ANSI escape sequences into HTML color directives, and the accepted answer is a link to the Perl module HTML::FromANSI, in CPAN.
