Most of the time, i can get away with using <pre> tags and escaping < like so:

<pre>
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
print "Put your code in &lt;CODE>&lt;/CODE> tags!\n";
</pre>
[download]

This yields:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
print "Put your code in <CODE></CODE> tags!\n";

It's not an ideal solution, but if your snippet is small enough, it'll get ya by. ;)
