If you use <code> tags your quine becomes much simpler: 
use strict; 
use LWP;
use HTTP::Request;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent::new ('LWP::UserAgent');
LWP::UserAgent::agent ($ua, 'Mozilla/5.0');
my $url = "http://www.perlmonks.org/?displaytype=displaycode;node_id=6
+62072";
my $request = HTTP::Request::new ('HTTP::Request', GET => $url);
my $response = LWP::UserAgent::request ($ua, $request);
print $response->content;

Also, you don't break formatting for replies to your node.

Edit: I think you want a question mark after dot-star. Otherwise it's q-positively trivial for me to break your code.

Edit2: I just realized that, if you put a question mark after dot-star, the end of your regex matches itself. But there are ways around that.

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.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
