OK. I think I got an easy and safe method for you to follow:

1) If you do not have it already, download Meshlab 
(http://www.meshlab.net/) and install it.

2) open Meshlab and load the stl mesh.

3) Open 'Export Mesh As...' and export the mesh as an obj file.

4) Open Poseray and load the obj mesh.

5) Go to the 'Groups' folder and press 'Recalculate normals'.

6) Go to the 'POV-Ray Output' folder and export the mesh to POV-Ray 
(results in a mesh2 include file).
