Syntax::Highlight::Perl - but Im not sure its a good idea..

I think it is a very good idea, as long as it is a user setting and done using CSS. I know I would love and enable the feature as soon as I can.

Here is the code I use at http://tnx.nl/scribble.plp:

        perl => sub {
            require Syntax::Highlight::Perl;
            my ($data) = @_;
            my $hl = Syntax::Highlight::Perl->new;
            $hl->define_substitution(
                '<' => '&lt;',
                '>' => '&gt;',
                '&' => '&amp;',
                "\t" => '&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nb
+sp;',
                ' ' => '&nbsp;',
            );
            $hl->set_format( $_ => [ "<span class=$_>", "</span>" ] )
                for qw/Comment Directive Label Quote String Subroutine
+ Variable
                       Keyword Builtin Operator Package Number CodeTer
+m Symbol
                       DATA/;
            return '<link rel=stylesheet href="/perl.css"><pre>' .
                   $hl->format_string($data) . '</pre>';
        },

I use this together with http://tnx.nl/perl.css. This code using this style sheet renders as http://tnx.nl/2240IXCX (link dies after 30 days).

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.


Do you know where your variables are?
