I don't have any pre-dev'd solution for you.. however may I reccomend the following (just off the top of my head)

use strict;
use warnings;

#Just listing a few bad chars (I think hehe) for example
my %escap_chars = ( '>' => '>',
                    '<' => '&lt;};

#Text for email would either be in array or scalar I'll presume
my $email_text = 'Hi this is a math email 2 + 2 = 4. and 4 > 5';
#if scalar
foreach my $key (keys(%escape_chars))
{
    $email_text =~ s/$key/$escape_chars{$key}/g;
}

# if each line of email is in an array

foreach my $key (keys(%escape_chars))
{
     s/$key/$escape_chars{$key}/g  for(@email_text);
}

Just as a method for dropping characters that need escaping and changing to their HTML counterpart. I believe (don't know for sure obviously) that this is something like what you would need to do. I believe there is a module that has a http link regex that you can use. Also just as a feature thought. you could test the links you find to make sure they are valid (read: not broken)links..

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
