This code inspired me to see how lazy i could get ... in a golfish way. It's crude and crufty, but it gets the job done. (CGI.pm can do this too, by the way ... search the docs for the -any pragma.)

package      XML::AUTOLOAD;
use vars     qw($AUTOLOAD);
sub new      {bless{},shift};
sub DESTROY  {}
sub AUTOLOAD { 
   my ($self,$attr,@data) = @_;
   my ($tag) = $AUTOLOAD =~ /:(\w+)$/;
   my $out   = "<$tag";
   if (ref $attr eq 'HASH') {
      $out .= qq| $_="$attr->{$_}"| for keys %$attr;
   } elsif (defined $attr) {
      unshift @data,$attr;
   }
   $out .= @data ? ">@data</$tag>" : " />";
}

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.
