    The really easy way is to output the text in HTML like the following:

    use HTML::Escape 'escape_html';
my $text= collect_output_as_txt( @servers );

my $title= "Report for servers " . join ",", @servers;

$text= escape_html( $text );

print <<HTML;

<html>
<head><title>
$title
</title></head>
<body>
<pre>
$text
</pre>
</body>
</html>

HTML

    If you want more fancy formatting, you will need to parse the output of each command and then fill the HTML appropriately.

    Well ok, that takes care of "save the html" portion, for the rest, my idea, I'd solve the problem the exact same way

    I'd probably use what Corion said in addition to
    HTML::FromText - converts plain text to HTML
    Text::Autoformat - Automatic text wrapping and reformatting
