    You need to escape the <BR> tags in your post, otherwise they don't get displayed. Replace the opening < with &lt;.

    As for your question, you should be able to do something like:

    $text =~ s/\n/<BR>/g;

    Your question is not quite clear to me, but it could be done via: 
    s/\n/<br>/g;
