Fellow Estemmed Monks

I bleieve the title is correct

Given a input:

Hello,
my name is barry
I am 20
I am webmaster of lsrfm.com
its a student radio station

[download]

What I want to to is, remove the return carriages and repalce them with <br&rt; or </p&rt;<p&rt;

So could a fellow monk advise on how to search a ref. and replace, and also what should I search for as, I am not sure what the return carriage character is

Further more the input listed is in:

my $text = "above"

So, basic program

my $input = "Hello,
my name is barry
I am 20
I am webmaster of lsrfm.com
its a student radio station";

'some process replacing return chars. with &lt;/p&rt;&lt;p&tk;'

[download]

As when placing the text on a page, intially obtained from a form on a webpage, where it is a textarea, it does not format the same way as it does in the text area.
Similar to this perl monks text area, but the users dont put html tags in!
