++ for doing something cool and sharing it with the community.
That said..

This is overkill. Javascript sucks.

Just install already (the source) and use vim to read the source with syntax highlighting turned on.

Now... what *might* be super duper uber cool... is.... How about you set up a web filter.. that renders code with syntax highlighting?!?!?!??!?!?!!!!!!!!

So, I would go to http://yoursite.com/render?site=http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/PURDY/CGI-MxScreen-0.103/MxScreen.pm

And I would get the code with syntax highlighting.

Very cool. No javascript junk to slow down my browser.
