Like any text you post to PerlMonks, the answer is quite simple:
- Put <p>...</p> around non-code paragraphs
- Put <c>..</c> around code blocks.
That covers 95% of likely POD to be pasted and is very little work. Preserving links or emphasis is often not an issue and is only a little more effort when warranted.
Update: And then enclose the whole range in <blockquote>...</blockquote> to indent it apart from the rest of your node, of course.

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).
