I don't see <> as being bad
Then I guess you don't mind your code failing or being hijacked if it tries to deal with files with names that contain leading/trailing space/pipe or leading angle brackets:
$ echo >'|echo "Perl is my bitch"'
$ perl -ne 0 *
Perl is my bitch
$
but p5p seems to consider this a feature which stunned me into silence when I ran into it related to a patch I tried to write, Re: binmode for @ARGV (open.pm).

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.
