Sure.

<!-- showme.htm -->

<html>
<body>

<form method="POST" action="showme.pl">
    <textarea name="myHTML"></textarea>
    <input type="checkbox" name="asHTML">Show as HTML
    <input type="submit">
</form>

</body>
</html>

#!/usr/bin/perl
# showme.pl
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI 'param';

my $html = param('myHTML');
my $ashtml = param('asHTML');

if ($ashtml) {
    print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
    print $html;
} else {

    print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n";

    print "The HTML you submitted looks like:\n";
    print "*" x 76, "\n";
    print $html;
    print "\n", "*" x 76, "\n";
}

Given this input in the textarea:

<html>
<head>
<title>Show me</title>
</head>

<body>Hi</body>

</html>

[download]

Without checking the box I get this output:

The HTML you submitted looks like:
**********************************************************************
+******
<html>
<head>
<title>Show me</title>
</head>

<body>Hi</body>

</html>
**********************************************************************
+******

And if I check the box I just get a page saying "Hi", titled "Show me". It really isn't that hard.
