hi bob,

if the webserver is apache, you can simply override Apache's cgi-handler by
putting a line like this line in the .htaccess file of the directory:

AddHandler default-handler *.pl

and then all .pl files should be viewed as plaintext in the browser.

there are also perl modules which will read your perl source code, format it
as syntax-colored HTML, and deliver that to the browser, but the only one i
can seem to find at the moment will not work on pair cuz it requires
mod_perl: http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=PrettyPerl

wouldn't it be fun to modify this to work as a CGI...?
