I just spotted HTML::HiLiter on cpan. Works pretty good 
use strict;
use warnings;
use HTML::HiLiter;
my $hiliter = HTML::HiLiter::->new;
$hiliter->Queries([
        'foo',
        'bar',
        '"some phrase"',
    ],
);
$hiliter->CSS;
$hiliter->Run(\q~
<html>
<title>hi</title>
<style type="text/css">
.hilite2, .hilite1 { /* so you can see whats hilited */
    color: red !;
}
</style>
<body>hi there I say <b>f<i>o</i>o</b> there <tt>some phrase</tt>
</body></html>
~);
__END__
<html>
<title>hi</title>
<style type="text/css">
