Actually no. You will need to escape all the HTML special characters for them to display. Here is an example. The text is "Wrap your ascii file in <pre> tags, and you'll be set... almost too easy :)"

"Wrap your ascii file in 
 tags, and you'll be set... almost too easy :)"
Hmmm, not actually the text I wanted. I'll close that unmatched pre now 

CGI.pm has an escapeHTML method to do this $html = $q->escapeHTML($text) As a browser will only render 1 space even if you have 10 in a row or tabs you need to escape these to. I have posted a solution in this thread - see below.
