for those interested here is the script I used to transform the CB-log saved from http://pthbb.org/cb/last.cgi into a readable post.

open $cb,"<","/tmp/cb.txt";
 
#- whole conversation into one string
my $slurp=do {local $/,<$cb>};<P>

#- split into single chats
my @chatters=split /^\s*$/m, $slurp;
 
for my $chat (reverse @chatters) {
 
  my (undef,$head,@text)=split /\n/m, $chat;
 
  #- print head
  my ($date,$time,$author)=split /\s+/,$head;
  print "<tt>", "[[$author]] $time", "</tt><br>\n";
 
  #- /me text to italic
  if ($text[0]=~s/^\/me/[$author]/){
    unshift @text,'<i>';
    push @text,'</i>';
  }
 
  #- named links
  for (@text){
    s# (\w+) \( (http://.*?) \) #[$2|$1]#xg
  }
 
  #- print text
  print join "\n",@text;
 
  #- print separator
  print "\n<p>\n\n";
 
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
