Hey, you may want to read up on how to post here. See
Writeup Formatting Tips
for example. You are working too hard at it if you start
putting PRE tags around things. Just use the HTML P tag
for paragraphs and stick CODE tags around your code.
If you do that you'll find the fewer people ignore your
post as poorly formatted.
Oh yeah, and inside code tags
all other html will display as raw text and your square
brackets won't turn into links like when put your login in
brackets here: mtaylor and here inside code tags [mtaylor]
=) Best of all, the site is smart so single lines of
code like in the last paragraph are displayed inline but
blocks of code are shown as though they were in their own paragraph.
Nice huh? Welcome to the site!

$you = new YOU;
honk() if $you->love(perl)
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.
Please read these before you post! —
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:

You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
