A couple ideas which come to mind based on your examples, although I don't really expect them to catch 100% of the cases which should be left alone:

- If presented with N or more lines of the same length, it's likely a binary dump or a pinout diagram, so leave it alone. (I'd probably go with N=3, at least initially, but most dumps/diagrams tend to be longer than that, so you could probably use a larger value of N safely.)

- Multiple consecutive lines with leading whitespace are likely to be ASCII art or columnar text, so leave them alone. (Just one line with leading whitespace is more likely to be the start of a paragraph. For extra credit, if a block of indented lines includes one non-indented line, leave it alone, too, since it's likely part of the ASCII art.)

(I know this isn't modules, which is what you said you're looking for, but it looked like you may be looking for rules, too.)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
