Bad solution. It would colour some Perl by accident, but what you're doing is nowhere near parsing Perl.
Only perl can really parse Perl correctly (and not even that), but what Syntax::Highlight::Perl and Perl::Tidy do comes much, much closer. (The latter is better, but the former is much faster/lighter and would because of that probably be better for this site. (Benchmarked a year or so ago, maybe things have changed since.)) Supporting Perl's quoting operators is very important; try doing that with Javascript :)

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.
