The first is pretty moot with the right tools, which are easy to find.
As for the browser, that can be highlighted or pod2html'd.
Yeah, I'm just expecting that the common tool is code that is
unhighlighted, monospace text. Your code should always look readable
even with all the bells and whistles turned off.
Heck, /usr/bin/less is a pretty common way of inspecting source too.
It comes right after going to
http://search.cpan.org/src/JJORE/Carp-Clan-5.9/lib/Carp/Clan.pm or
similar.
If your code isn't readable in the "default" configuration then you
need tools to reform your code for your editing convenience or
something. It's not the form that it ought to be saved in.
