This is an excellent question and although I thought I knew the answer (there isn't any way to do it!) I was surprised to find out there are in fact several ways to do it, or at least make it easier. I'll have to re-visit some of the scripts I've written.
I've hit this problem in the past and it always made me mad that I had to develop a CGI interface to something that I already had a Perl interface for, especially since I was writing a Perl program!
It's too bad I ran out of votes for this thread's poster and responders....

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
