The kind of linebreaks you get from <textarea> tags vary with different
browsers and platforms. I use the following method to deal with this.

$string =~ s/\015\012/\n/g;  # First change CRLF's, if any
$string =~ s/\012/\n/g;      # Change LF's
$string =~ s/\015/\n/g;      # Change CR's
$string =~ s/\n/<br>/g;      # now you should be OK using \n
