Use Perltidy's HTML formatting options (`-html` etc.) As shown in the Perltidy manual, you can generate a whole page or a simple preformatted section, with embedded or linked style sheets, and set different colors for all manner of different constructs.	[reply]

You can also let vim do it. The not-so-gory details are in the vim help file under "convert-to-HTML". Originally posted as a Categorized Answer.	[reply]

Check in CPAN, I think that there is some module in the B or Devel namespace that outputs an XML version of your code after compiling it; you can then write a stylesheet to transform it into HTML and you would be sure that the parsing is proper because it has been done by perl itself.

Emacs can do it. I often use the htmlfontify library.	[reply]
