Here is a small filter program based on Pod::Simple::HTML and the search.cpan CSS that should give you more or less the same output that you see on that site:

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w

    use strict;
    use Pod::Simple::HTML;

    my $parser = Pod::Simple::HTML->new();

    if (defined $ARGV[0]) {
        open IN, $ARGV[0]  or die "Couldn't open $ARGV[0]: $!\n";
    } else {
        *IN = *STDIN;
    }

    if (defined $ARGV[1]) {
        open OUT, ">$ARGV[1]" or die "Couldn't open $ARGV[1]: $!\n";
    } else {
        *OUT = *STDOUT;
    }

    $parser->index(1);
    $parser->html_css('http://search.cpan.org/s/style.css');

    $parser->output_fh(*OUT);
    $parser->parse_file(*IN);

    __END__

Update: This utility is now available on CPAN as pod2cpanhtml which is install as part of App::Pod2CpanHtml.

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.
