There's probably no module for that particular format available, because it is your very invention ;). You'll have to parse on your own, but that needn't be too hard. If you can simplify the format so that regular expressions suffice, they'll do it. If you don't want to simplify, keep stuff extensible and maintainable, use Parse::RecDescent, it will do the parsing for you according to an easy-to-write grammar (you can also create very complicated things, but you don't want to).

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.
