It's not necessarily the best teaching example due to the complexity of it all, but it does show how Perl can work. The "chained" function system is often very useful in data-translation exercises, such as this.

It might be a little tidier as such: 
sub Clear_MakePtag
{
     return join ("\r\n",
                  map  { "<p>$_</p>" }
                  grep { /\S/ }
                  split ("\r\n", my ($fix) = @_)
     );
}

sub MakePtag
{
     my ($fix) = @_;

     $fix =~ s!\r\n$!!s;
     $fix =~ s!\r\n!</p>\r\n<p>!g;

     return "<p>$fixme</p>";   
}

Cosmetic mostly, but since this is about clarity. The chomp call seems kind of strange since it takes off $/, which is OS specific, right? Better to just say what you mean, I would think.
