Wouldn't it be better just to fix the server so that it served Perl
scripts with the right MIME type? Having to encode all of the
forbidden (there are more than just < and >) HTML characters in each
Perl script you put on a web site would be a real pain, and anyone
who downloads the thing in raw (Netscape calls it "source") mode
won't be able to use the script as intended. The MIME types should
be set so that Perl scripts are text/plain.
