PHPS -> perl equivalent?

[simeon2000]

One of the neat features of the OTHER language that is good at handling the CGI environment (PHP), there is a feature where if you set up apache right, and set a file with a .phps extension, it will show the source code with syntax highlighting through html.

Is there anything like this for our beloved perl? If, let's say, I want to showcase some code, is there a code beautifier (or just syntax highlighting really) script for example? Something like:

cat src_script.pl | perl pretty_code.pl > src_script.pls

Surely this has been done... for what better language to parse perl than... perl? :E

Check out perltidy - from perltidy -h

-html   write an html file (see 'man perl2web' for many options)
         Note: when -html is used, no indentation or formatting are do
+ne.
         Hint: try perltidy -html -css=mystyle.css filename.pl
         and edit mystyle.css to change the appearance of filename.htm
+l.
         -nnn gives line numbers
         -pre only writes out <pre>..</pre> code section

Cheers
Update: Just tested it, and it does do syntax highlighting - not sure why I thought it didn't.

Is this going out live?
No, Homer, very few cartoons are broadcast live - it's a terrible strain on the animator's wrist

Bunny Boy Fu (bbfu) has a Syntax Highlighter, that demonstrates Syntax::Highlight::Perl. It sounds like that's what you want.
