Further to the <CODE> tag discussions, my $2e-2 is that there be an INDENT parameter, which would shuffle the code in, only during HTML display. A default of 5 characters would be assumed, unless a specific number was specified, such as INDENT=8. This gives you code like:      my $donut = 'round'; Instead of: my $donut = 'round'; The downloaded code would stay unindented. I find that indenting often improves readability for short blocks, and most books (i.e. Programming Perl) use this same technique.

Of course, vroom probably has 9e6 other things to do first.

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;
